I am happy to see it gone. I know it is nice to know who uses the 
software, but statistics collected that way are skewed because large 
corporations do a silent install and many people (most?) click on "don't 
register". And amongst people who download LibreOffice, we do not know 
who really uses it and who downloaded it to give it a 2-minute trial. In 
other words, statistics are useless.

On the other hand, the help menu could be improved to add links to one 
or more of the following:
– help forums
– User guides (essentially the page that has the current LibO user guides)
– Open Document Foundation page.
– Maybe a "feedback" page?
