OK, then I suggest the following.
Current situation:
Calc UI ODF Excel
FDIST LEGACY.FDIST FDIST
F.DIST COM.MICROSOFT.F.DIST F.DIST
F.DIST.RT COM.MICROSOFT.F.DIST.RT F.DIST.RT
New situation:
Calc UI ODF-old names, kept ODF Excel
FDIST LEGACY.FDIST FDIST (no change)
F.DIST COM.MICROSOFT.F.DIST FDIST F.DIST
F.DIST.RT COM.MICROSOFT.F.DIST.RT F.DIST.RT (no change)
To be done in two steps.
Shall I prepare step 1 for branch 4-4 and step 2 for master?
