The extension is also available in:

https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/5747

I just need to update it to the latest version in LO extension website.

It is hard to assess how frequent this use case is. All I can say is that I use
it very often. The 3 main use cases for me are:

1) Copying and pasting data from web pages often result in empty lines
depending on how the original web page was organized; so removing these empty
rows in a quick manner is very helpful

2) Sometimes working with long data tables I need to manually remove some
lines. It is easier to simple remove their contents first (using Delete key)
than using the Remove Row command (which shows a dialog, requiring more
clicks). After removing all the rows, I simply compact the data table.

3) In lectures, I often use Calc to illustrate how a certain algorithm
processes a matrix of data, which involves deleting rows one at a time. So what
I do is simply delete the cell contents (using the Delete key) and at the end
of the iteration I compact the data using this extension.

I understand that these uses cases may be a little "niche", which is why I
developed it as an extension.

But if some day a dev wishes to implement this functionality into LO natively,
I would be very pleased =)
