I totally disagree.

If user is unable to do something he wants with open documentation, then this 
is documentation fault. It should be fixed (made clear, verbose, use 
screenshots or anything), not feature should be disabled.

There are many ways to speed up opening of programs. Some features may be 
delayed or loaded on request. Application can be modularized - core features 
are loaded by default, other are loaded only if user wants them (take a look 
at LaTeX, GNU R, Miranda (instant messenger), even Mozilla Firefox to some 
avail).

*Removing* features is total no-go, because it will drive away these users who 
need them. And I don't think that LO is application only for 90% of it's 
current users.
