Hi Heiko, security is an area that you can't leave to the possibility a person
is running an extension. You either do it or you don't. The two options I see
for Windows and Mac users is an info bar that informs the user that your
version of LibreOffice is at risk and you should upgrade or you go the Mozilla
route and just update in the background, but provide an option to opt out of
this if you want.
