[libreoffice-users] LORC3.3 Berkeley database

The release notes[1] for LORC3.3 contains the following statement:

> The Berkeley database engine has been upgraded in this version of
> LibreOffice. The database engine upgrade introduces an
> incompatibility with user data for installed extensions for
> OpenOffice.org versions prior to 3.2 that may require your action if
> you downgrade your version of LibreOffice.
>
> This version of LibreOffice will convert your extension database to
> the new Berkeley database format when extensions are installed or
> removed. After this conversion, the database can no longer be read by
> earlier versions of OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice. Downgrading to an
> earlier version may result in a dysfunctional installation.
>
> If you downgrade to an earlier version of OpenOffice.org or
> LibreOffice, you must remove the user data directory {user
> data}/uno_packages, for example
> ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/uno_packages, and reinstall all extensions.

Does anyone know exactly what this means?

My libreoffice user profile/folder is:
~/.libreoffice/3/
My Ubuntu OOo is:
~/.openoffice.org/3/
And my standard OOo (set by me) is:
~/.openoffice.org3/3/

I'm hesitant to install LORC3.3 until I fully understand whether or not
LORC3.3 with screw up any other Berkeley databases on my system (OOo or
otherwise). Further, does this mean that I can no longer add extensions
that use the older database, or will those be automagically converted on
install?
