    * Default Layers
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127286
    + add description to default layers
    + add this to the description (and let users delete/override)
    + show the description as tooltip on the tab
    + text from help or short as suggested by Pedro
    => do it, with short tooltips
    
    * Select in(active) Layer
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127283
    + Add option to layers, to prevent selecting objects on inactive Layers, also if the layers are not locked (Cor)
    + different approach handy:
    you can switch to and work on layers in complex files, with many layers, without having to lock, or unluck the layers on each time you switch layer.
    + selectable on/off on the object level makes no sense; way too many and inconvenient to switch on/off (Heiko)
    + 'lock all other' layers might be a valuable addition
    + some cornerstones with, for example, groups spawn over several layers (Regina)
    + or WFM as layers can be toggled locked (and are thereby non-selectable)
    + vote for WFM (Heiko)
    => comment and ask OP for use case
    
    * Styles: Default Style is to generic
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132137
    + Calc: Default (Cell Style) and Default (Page Style)
    + Draw/Impress: Default (Drawing Style)
    + nothing speaks against this ideas
    => please do it
    
    * Calc lacks several fields available in Writer
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132104
    + many are available under Format > Page > Header/Footer > Edit (Cor)
    => WFM
    
    * "Replacements and exceptions for language:" (AutoCorrect d.box) should follow "Default languages for documents: Western" (Options)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55083
    + ui, locale, and document language can be set independently => WFM
    => WFM
    
    * Branding for 7.0
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130778
    + image at start center too large? (Stuart, c23)
    + the image is now scaled initially to 50% of the view size
    + looks good (Cor)
    + splash screen difference normal/dev build
    + use only dark or only white variant
    + both are fine (Cor)
    + remove splash screen completely
    + disagree (Heiko, Cor)
    + use grey scale image on start center
    + monochrome is not the UI default, so -1 (Heiko)
    + wouldnt prefer grey scale (Cor)
