Also, since Apache took over OpenOffice.org and put it out of<br>incubation, it seems the development has been progressing rather well<br>and in a different direction than LibreOffice. While both started from<br>the same point, they're going to be different office suites with<br>

main manpower for F19 should go into getting it into repos and solving<br>*all* conflicts. They should be parallel installable and should not<br>conflict even at runtime with each other. Especially the runtime<br>conflicts would be really confusing to (some of) our users.<br>

<div>I think that's not the point, one of the two suites will be dominant and you can't provide both of them on a live image for example.</div>
<div>LibreOffice was introduced to our live images and we hit target 1GB, do you really think it could be useful having a larger image just because you want to provide both of the office suites?</div>
<div>I think Fedora did the right decision moving towards LibreOffice, we should maintain that. Never change a winning team :)</div>
