 with keyword remaining)

    + Issue around new Gallery content
      + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133788 (l10n)
      + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133777 (present)
        + new content now at presets/gallery/ => move back to (readonly)
          share/gallery/ (sberg)
        + shipped content in user space would be overridden anyway (mikek)
        + better approach, eg. migration or as bundled extensions?
      + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57466 (user space)
        + proposal in c19 with renaming to *.old
      + similar to extensions (René)
        + some people have very old ones (René)
        + issue also for table styles (Heiko)
      + Is there a diffirent solution? Like migration? (Heiko)
        + How to solve it for galleries? (Heiko)
        + Ideas much appreciated (Heiko)
        + User shouldn't modify existing galleries, just add new ones (René)
        => Please check the issues above, ideas much appreciated (Heiko)
          + Suggest staying with non-editable gallery content for 7.0 (René,
            Stephan)
          => let's do that, not enough time for 7.0 for larger changes
          + for later, we can ask the user (Heiko)
            + but the package installation cannot do anything in the user's
              dir (René)
          + bundled extensions are OK (René)
