Do we really need LibreOffice installed by default?

Well when someone installs a third party extension and have no java
would libreoffice tell him to install java?
If not things will just fail without an obvious reason making our
product looks bad. So I disagree on it being a useful thing. We don't
have to save every single megabyte no matter what.
And no a release notes entry is not enough.
