I don't think we should pack every tiny extension in LO.
Indeed not. Most of them are crap, surely. But a small eleet set that are truly useful for anybody
using a major functionality of LO (like the presentation manager or whatsitcalled), I do think we
should include such a set always. And I do think that we should fully integrate them, when
possible, in the LO sources, so that they are not in any sense, not technically, not
marketing-wise, "extensions" any more.
That leads to bloatware.
Really? Well, if *every* (your word) *tiny* (your word) extension would be included, then sure, the
size will increase significantly. But nobody is suggesting that every tiny extension is included.
If just a few tiny (or not so tiny) and useful extensions are included, that is not really bloating
the size. That is adding functionality.
By the same logic that you present, we should stop adding features completely, especially large
features, as that surely leads to even bloater wares.
