I want to let you know that I am currently working on the migration of

I am currently not planning to adjust any of the mentioned strings as I
think it is too late for its translation.

Is this safe? In a typical scenario, then, a user would have some extensions 
installed and he would see them imported in 4.0 without being warned about 
possible compatibility problems. Most of the extensions do not have a 
maxversion indication, so OpenOffice 4.0 will try and install them anyway, but 
some might be broken. And then the user is left alone in updating his 
extensions (which in theory he should be prompted to do after installation, 
assuming this mechanism is restored), but he wouldn't have a way to go back 
before it's too late.

Even if it's not that safe, since the new user profile will not overwrite the 
former (it's a major upgrade), the only risk is that it doesn't work and to 
reset completely the new profile (but the former one is untouched and is kept 
available).

So we should at least try and hope that very few are broken.

Thanks Oliver for your work on the profile migration, it would be a great 
feature for a smooth upgrade.
