(Unfortunately from my perspective) Your preferred Desktop Gnome has to
bear a bigger risk regarding Mono  :-)

The majority decided for LibreOffice, so it will replace OpenOffice
sooner or later.

Back in the older days I had to use OpenOffice as distributed by
OpenOffice.org to use an urgendly needed feature of a new version. It is
very easy to use the Fedora integration scripts with an original
OpenOffice (at least it used to be so, for some years I had no need to
do so anymore). Just install the OO.org version on top or the Fedora
version and correct some path entries in the /usr/bin OO files. So it is
really your individual choice.
