Not having a stock gallery will definitely make a difference in the 
educational sector. We usually use this to teach our younger students 
the steps to insert graphics into their work whether in Word (Writer) or 
PowerPoint (Impress).

I would hate to see this disappear as it does hold some value in our 
schools and is still a marketable asset for the educational sector -- an 
important sector that we, LibreOffice, want to break into.

Maybe make it into a "stock extension" where it would disappear from the 
downloaded version but available as an extension (maintained by 
LibreOffice)? Would this be possible?

BTW ... one of the best used extension that I previously used with OOo 
was the one that installed clipart from the OpenClipArt project[1]. When 
I took my laptop to work, the teachers would always comment positively 
at the cliparts in the gallery.

Cheers,
