Actually,  the Libre Office offers them as a check-box option. They've always been there.

Very true, but a far more important security step IS to obtain valid signature/hash value
from the publisher of the file, and then to calculate the signature/hash of the downloaded file.
Doing so reveals both that you have the original file, and that your download was
complete. It helps ensure that you do not have malware but also that your installation
attempts are problem free.
