As general notion this is certainly true. However really a discussion stopper
at the same time. 

So of course if I say it's undesired, this certainly doesn't mean i'm right.
And it should be changed straight away. Or maybe it should be changed at all..
I only attempting to point out something (but certainly not unique)

I'm only try to get some attention about something I dislike, would like to see
differently. Not a being a clear (evident) case of being wrong. Ideally there
are metrics. Telemetry/pools/ discussion/ workflow research.. Or a topic where
this is being analyzed in depth 

Not some a report in a obscure bug tracker, hidden away etc. Decided by few
people in the backroom. 

Anyhow I still hope there is some kind of feedback system. Else suboptimal
stuff keeps in because large group dislikes it (but ignores it) and small group
uses it (and starts complaining) when it's removed. And the one with the
loudest voice wins.

So we currently at an impasse :-). Which is mostly the case with all 'UI/UX'
issues. there is always an argument  contra. The behaviour is already 10 years
old (So this can't be changed). It's used by someone. It's a corner case. It's
a lot of work...

Someway we need to start with blog posts about design issues. Giving examples
and how we struggle to get it right. And see what others think of it. And or
polls? How do they do this at MS Research?

My fear: only hardcore LibreOffice enthousiasts will respond. Not representing
the (major) user population. 

OTOH: Being to conservative might mean suboptimal product.
