--- Comment #3 from Stephan Bergmann <sberg.fun at gmail.com> ---
The original subject of this issue was "French and Spanish spelling
dictionaries are default extensions that can not be removed in a UK English
LibreOffice set up."  It was generalized to "Allow removing bundled extensions"
on 2024-05-26.  I'm not sure whether that was helpful.

I would still argue that we should leave the treatment of bundled extensions
alone, as I did back in bug 33060 comment 19.

For the specific case of installed-but-unwanted dictionaries (and allow me to
add: in case that even is an issue of practical concern), we could maybe make
them optional to install in the first place, by making the selection of
to-be-installed components more fine grained than it currently is?

But that dictionaries are implemented as bundled extensions is something I
would consider more as an implementation detail than as a design decision to
make them deinstallable post installation, and I would not extrapolate from
"certain dictionaries are installed but unwanted" to "allow removing bundled
extensions".
