--- Comment #16 from Stephan Bergmann <sbergman at redhat.com> ---
I assume that the old functionality is still available in the code, just can't
be accessed:  I did a (macOS) LO master build configured with
--disable-report-builder, and with a database open in LO, the Reports' Tasks
section only contains a "Use Wizard to Create Report..." item, instead of the
usual two "Create Report in Design View..." and "Use Wizard to Create
Report..." items.  And while --disable-report-builder's "Use Wizard to Create
Report..." brings up a "Report Wizard" dialog that looks the same as the usual
one, the document that opens up behind it looks different:  Instead of the
usual document with database-related toolbars at the top, and some
orange-tinted Page Header/Detail/Page Footer sections, it opens a plain Writer
document without toolbars and some Title/Author/Date lines.

Can anyone confirm that that is the legacy report wizard that people ask to get
access to again?

Since the "trick" of uninstalling a Report Builder extension to get access to
the legacy report wizard can no longer work (see bug 61950), we would need to
find another way to offer access to it (possibly some third "Use Wizard to
Create Legacy Report..." item in the Reports' Tasks section, or a flag in the
Options dialog to switch between the two).
