It is possible to direct LibreOffice to a particular user profile

a separate user profile for each bug report I look at.
I think that this parameter inhibits the usual conversion of user
profiles across versions of LibreOffice. Is this right?
No; what happens exactly is: Whenever at LO 4 start-up no LO 4 user
profile exists (e.g. because -env:UserInstallation points to a directory
that does not exist) and a LO 3 user profile exists at the canonic
location (i.e., not taking into account any -env:UserInstallation) and
the LO 3 user profile does not contain a MIGRATED4 marker file, then the
MIGRATED4 marker file is written into the LO 3 user profile and data
from the LO 3 user profile is migrated into the newly created LO 4 user
profile.
Is it a reportable bug if LibreOffice crashes when using a user
profile created by an earlier version? ( I tend to the position that
every crash is a bug, but I can well see that a lot of bugs
"RESOLVED WONTFIX" could become annoying. )
Such crashes should generally be considered bugs that should be fixed.
An exception is when the user profile data that causes the crash can
only have been produced by a "non-official" LO version (e.g. a nightly
snapshot).
