Hello Sudhir, I am afraid that you're missing one important point. If a user installs a 3rd party plugin that is expected to work and it doesn't work that's bad. From her/his POV Fedora would be giving her/him a worse experience than other distros or OSes where these plugins work out of the box in LibreOffice. A good default experience is certainly more valuable than saving a few megs. (Hence my question, how much space are we talking about here, as I suspect we're trying to overoptimize).
