Thanks. Any hint on which one I should be looking at? I can't seem to
find the reference in the 10/06/2011 minutes of tech. steering call ...
I did a search for binfilter + minutes here
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/
The minutes of tech steering call ... are the ones to look at.
Thanks Cor; I was looking for it in the most recent minutes. Found it:

Hi *,

Will be this 3.5 ? Or do you want to wait for the next version? If post 3.5,
then I will continue the cleaning. If no, I may change my work and try to
perform cleaning (ergh, deletion) as proposed here below.
Please at least have one release for people to be "warned" by lack of
write support.
But of course we can/should start communicating the removal of binfilter now.

And the 3.4.3 release notes do not indicate that write support has been
dropped:

Maybe it was thought that this blurb was sufficient:?

Substantially re-work legacy StarOffice (pre 2000) binary file format
filters, removing all export code: the filters are now smaller and
read-only, this also removes clutter from the 'Save As' dialog
