No, I'm against rewriting them from scratch, because I fear the regressions, so I don't think they should go away.

I prefer evolution over revolution. :) Best regards, Andras _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
