Re: [libreoffice-users] Base questions

If the normal Base file is not reliable, why do we have it in the first place?

Either we (the community) must make it reliable, or we should abandon it and come with a reliable 
alternative.
Not reliable is in fact not very acceptable. The documentation should describe when to use, and 
when not to use base. Simply generalizing in the FACs is not the right way to go, I think.
