The reason what that LibreOffice contains two implementations of the
same "feature", namely in a database context to format a value. I ripped
out the use of one (svxform::OTypeConversionClient, which was buggy in
the way described in bug 67615) in the favour of the other
(dbtools::FormattedColumnValue).

Utilities and base classes that are useful in a database context.

What is "core functionality" and what is not "core functionality" in
LibreOffice? Do we have a clear policy about that?

Well, parts of svxcore *do* deal with database stuff, so *if* svxcore is
to be considered as completely "core functionality", then dealing with
database stuff is "core functionality". If this contradicts in some way
the yet-unknown-to-me policy about "core functionality", and *parts* of
svxcore need to be considered "core feature" then maybe we can/should
rip out the non-core parts of svxcore out of svxcore and place them into
another library?

More hackishly, there is some infrastructure in place (namely
connectivity::ODataAccessStaticTools) to handle this kind of things as a
"dlopen at runtime instead of build-time link". We could extend that,
but I'd much rather we solved the root cause rather than extending a
band-aid (which I'd rather see destroyed).
