What is to be gained by the LibreOffice or Dia user that is not already present? (Not a rhetorical question.)

I am pretty happy right now.  I make a screen dump and put the image from Dia in the OO document.  There is not any problem.  It is fast, easy, and dependable.   It is not dynamic, but somehow I have not been concerned.  I would hope not to fix something that is unbroken.

But what if you have a reviewer who wants to correct something? She/he can edit the document but not the screendump. So you'll have to send a package containing the OO document and any dia file you used. And you'll have to use really meaningful names for your documents to ease finding the proper dia file... Compare that to the simple double click that I have to make in order to edit a visio graphic in a MS-Word document (provided I have the license).

Has anyone suggested the possibility of Dia becoming a diagramming
tool in LibreOffice?

It would take a lot of work, but Dia could at least provide a starting
framework.

Would this be a welcomed opportunity or something to be avoided?
