There are different import filters for Draw and for Writer. The project -
correctly- decided to support opening PDFs in Writer - which means editing the
opened PDFs in Writer, as Writer documents.
If you believe that should be dropped, please open a separate bug and we can
argue about it there.

I should, and I do. But regardless - I expect the PDF import filters not to
reverse text runs, which is what this bug is about.

The neglect is indeed a separate issue, as is the excessive use of draw shapes.

Completely disagree, but again - you're sneaking in an argument here about
wanting to drop the Writer PDF import filter. That's inappropriate.

Can we find that in the list of import filters right now?

No, it's not fixed: RTL text runs are still reversed on PDF import. You can't
reduce the scope of this bug retroactively because you believe one of the PDF
import filters is not important.
