Hey :-) so - first off, the plan is to only shipping the capability of notifying for an update without immediately lighting up the update recommendation server. Also - since we are shipping it only in one version 3.4.1 - there is nothing to update to anyway ( unless you count 3.3.3 ;-). So the net effect will be (I think) nothing. We have a week+ to shake out any bugs in it. > This feature often brought no joy.

Sure - so, as I understand it, the server is notified of the client version, so we can build whatever matrix we like of recommended upgrades (or none at all), based on the version they are using. That seems flexible enough for what we want - and of course, we can decide that matrix with some considerable thought later. > Indeed, above the already mentioned problem, we have the challenge > to make sure that the right user does find the right version for > her situation. Of course - and we also have the existing challenge that people are not updated, and are running old LibreOffice's with plenty of known bugs fixed in them. ie. if we care about quality we want people to update through release series .0 -> .1 -> .2 etc. Clearly sysadmins need to be able to turn this off, as no doubt we'll do for the SUSE, RedHat, Ubuntu etc. versions - but that is not a huge issue. So - is there still a problem ?
