--- Comment #11 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

We agree with the use case: Some users might value privacy over convenience and
expect unavailable documents to be removed from the MRU by default. But since
many if not the majority of users prefer the current solution, we recommend to
add a toggle to the start center "[ ] Automatically remove unavailable
documents" and run the function on start, for example.

Furthermore it could be beneficial to disable those menu items in the MRU that
refer to unavailable files.

This might be an easy hack. Code pointer: sfx2/uiconfig/ui/startcenter.ui,
RecentDocsView::clearUnavailableFiles(), SfxViewFrame::Notify()
