--- Comment #9 from Michael Meeks <michael.meeks at collabora.com> ---
Discarding users' customization as they upgrade seems really unfortunate. The
ESC discussed this last week, and are unconvinced by a number change here - we
deliberately didn't do this in the past to avoid issues here. Ultimately if a
user has not configured some part of the UI, or eg. table-styles in general
they should not have a hard-coded configuration for that in their config
directory - so, they should see the new changes eg. toolbar re-org. Those who
did take the time to configure things as they want them will not be disrupted.

There are a load of potential ways to fix and improve this code, and/or to
detect a one-off upgrade and allow the user to choose to use the 'new' stuff
for whatever areas they configured - but they all involve real coding work, and
rather unpleasant testing (AFAIR our unit tests for migration code are/were
very poor indeed).

So - absent some developer to work on this in the next 10 days - this is
unlikely to happen for 6.0 I think.
