As DejaVu comes preinstalled on linux distros and Times New Roman was used in
the default style in OOo 3.3 for windows, i dont see a problem for its removal.
We've been defaulting to use Times New Roman or Liberation Serif since LO
conception, so 6 years of documents wont have any such problems and so do newly
created documents. Ultimately users who still use the font will have it
installed on their systems and if they dont, they will be able to install it
even if we dont install it for them.

Hopefully if we can get a missing fonts infobar created (bug 78186), we can
assist users who are missing any font used in the creation of a document.
