IMO it should be one or the other, and given the politics involved, I personally would prefer that LibreOffice gets the nod by most of the distro's that do not somehow, have a dog in this fight. Interestingly, I note that a day after LO announces a final 3.3, so does OOo. To me that brings up a question that is OT for this list, but if you let your imagination out to play without a chaperon, you all will ask it too. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
