After upgrading FC27 to FC28 (x86_64), Thunderbird became very
unreliable and useful extensions stopped working. I decided to take the
easy solution and just downgrade Thunderbird back to what I had with
FC27. But for some reason, DNF thinks OpenOffice is dependent on
Thunderbird, and deletes it! It certainly shouldn't be dependent!

I just replaced Thunderbird with Seamonky [dnf seamonky]. That appears
to have made it possible to use my preferred old extensions without
downgrading anything. It also collected the thunderbird files,
addresses, etc.
This computer happens to be running Fedora 29 beta but I would expeect
the same result with Fedora 28.
