Try that experiment with Rawhide (updating just individual packages when
you feel like you need more modern version of the particular pacakge;
the trick is never to run unqualified yum upgrade for whole system).

Just to emphasize, I used to use Debian for many years, so I completely
don't agree with the level of brokeness all Fedora packages requirements
have IMHO.

Fortunately, presto makes miracles about OpenOffice, but again only if
you regularly update complete distro.
