Hello friends

*If* this has not yet been done, I have a request make the "Enableexperimental (unstable) features" hideable from the UI, possibly thru anXCU configuration file. I can open a bug for the records, just let me know.

Motivation: In large deployments with tight IT control such option as asource of troubles for the help desk, where software stability is amust. This option can spark user curiosity and he/she may break theinstallation by ill-behaved (unstable) features.

I am not asking to remove this option from the code, but just give a wayto deploy LibreOffice with this option out of the reach of the end user.The configuration can even keep the option visible by default, butshould let us/admins hide it.


Thank you
