While I absolutely agree that the executable names should be changed,
file associations needs a bit more than that, I was very glad to see
that LibO brought back the ability to choose file associations for Word,
Excel and Powerpoint file types at install time, but more is needed -
the associations for the newer XML formats need to be treated
separately, so, instead of just 3 associations, there would be 6.

With that one difference in mind, I'd *love* to see LibO implement
something along the lines of my long-standing request (77257) for a
proper 'File Extension Manager' (which was created long before the new
XML formats):
