:-(

On linux at least it seems this change has the consequence of having to now
manually move user settings, extensions, and macro libraries to the new version
6, a non-trivial task.

As near as I can tell from version 5 to 6 there are no changes required in the
user settings, extensions, or macro libraries.  Ref:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/141322/when-upgrading-to-lo-60-whats-the-best-way-to-migrate-the-my-macros-standard-library/

But that notwithstanding, I think there should be:

a) A multi platform installer for LO (instead of by different methods on
different systems), and

b) That installer should be able to migrate user content when upgrading if
appropriate.  Possibly it could even automatically modify or a least flag
needed changes from version to version.\

I find it frustrating to see an issue on Windows be fixed, only to make a new
problem for Linux.
