I wrote to Andrew privately about this, to help ensure that he
sees the note soon. Below is what I said.

1. I think that the chapter will be removed from the OOo Official
documentation.
Why do you think it will be removed? Or, who do you think will
remove it? If you want it removed, we'll certainly honor your
preference. Otherwise, just because it's no longer part of the
Getting Started book doesn't mean anyone here will remove it
completely. We (OOoAuthors and the OOo Documentation Project) are
getting to the point of developing a lot more material than just
the books.
2. The content is NOT covered elsewhere in the documentation.
A good reason for keeping it as part of the official OOo
documentation, if that's okay with you.
3. I updated the chapter to reflect OOo 2.0 (I did this so that the OOo
Authors version would be current), but did not revisit for later
releases. Difficult to convince myself to update it again since it will
be dropped from the general documentation (and I am a wee bit over-worked).
I certainly appreciate the "over-worked" problem, and will
understand if you want to withdraw the document.
