What extensions do we ship with LibreOffice that requires Java? If
they are third-party and upstream doesn't compel to include them by
default do we really need them.
Third party LibreOffice extensions are something that upstream by design
does not include---they e.g. cover functionality that is deemed too
specialized to warrant general inclusion. And we as Fedora don't ship
them either---they're an area where repackaging as RPMs probably doesn't
make sense, at least not exclusively.
(Related to the question of how much space would be saved by dropping
java-headless, LO's move from depending java to java-headless wasn't so
much motivated by space savings but rather to work around "Java package
[...] launchers we don't want to have in our default install,"
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1131425>.)
(And, just to be clear, LO works with whatever JRE's available at
runtime, OpenJDK, Oracle, even GCJ still.)
