Comment 34 for bug 25827

My woe with that (aside from the license issues above) is that this will call a new Python instance for each and every OOo document that you have in a directory. This is a very expensive operation, so it'll drain a lot of CPU and I/O resources.

Of course this is equally true for video thumbnails, which are also awfully expensive. I just wonder whether we should aggravate the problem with more file types, by default.

But aside from that, of course there is no reason whatsoever to not put it at least in universe. For jaunty, getting it into main and installed by default is a bit late.
