Agreed.

&gt;<i> - it is really a bad practice to choose for users what is good or not.

Well, in the libreoffice case, this was well documented (and anyway, OO wasn't
even supported upstream for ~ 2 years)
For the db case, it's about a older version of a low level library that never
went into a released version.
The end user doesn't care whether it's apps are builded against libdb-5.2,
or 5.3 (even more since 5.2 was only available in cauldron)
