LibreOffice is working quite well and must (!) therefore remain the default
Office Suite, as new users want to have a Suite which is working on Fedora,
and actually we know that LibreOffice is working very well.
Perhaps in the future we can say the same for OO, but not now, we don't
know it yet. If someone wants to provide the OO packages ok, but as an
alternative on the repo. And for those who want to install it, it shouldn't
break anything on Fedora, even if the user wants to install both Suites,
IMHO.
I hope you understand my point of view.
