I have not looked at the new features for 4.0.0 before.  Seeing this 
"personas" discussion, I looked.

For the "eye candy" of personas, I know many people who have used it 
before and removed it.  I have known of others who still use it. Yes, it 
is "eye candy" and that is not something "business users" tend to use, 
but if you are going to try to get the young users to start using LO 
over MSO, then the support for Firefox personas may help.
