--- Comment #9 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

The label "Replace Custom Styles" is somewhat unclear, the removal wouldn't be
realized by many users anyway and the recently introduced Spotlight feature
shows styles clearly allowing to spot custom styles and to convert it manually.

However, if one receives a document from someone else eg. created with some
other application, s/he might want to replace  all "alien" styles with
something reasonable. So having the option is beneficial.

We also discussed the label, and it's actually clear. Any style listed under
Custom Styles will be replaced by Body Text and co (unclear when the latter are
used). Renaming is not necessary, perhaps some improvements at the help makes
sense.

But since the feature is confusing many we suggest to switch it off by default.
