--- Comment #1 from Andrea Pescetti <pe...@apache.org> ---
The assumption that removing support for HWP would not be a major problem to
users was verified with the Korean localization team.

Note that, as far as I know, OpenOffice did not support the latest version of
the HWP format, only the version(s) previous to 1997.

Do you have examples of widely available HWP files that used to open correctly
with OpenOffice 4.1.1?

The reason for removing the HWP filter was that it was abandoned and posed
security risks. If someone wants to help and work to restore it, and properly
maintain it, the HWP filter can be brought back into OpenOffice.
