one of the common themes of the F14 review cycle was ridiculing the

giving my own personal opinion). I know we have good arguments against
including an office suite, and I suspect planner is just in there as a
hangover from when we tried to include GNOME Office, but there does seem
to be a consistent impression in reviews that the current package choice
seems bizarre.
Weren't those reasons related to lack of space in the LiveCD?
Ubuntu always had openoffice on their live, but I was told they could
do it because they did not use our very same upstream (go-oo inteast
ooo, again IIRC) and their upstream made it easier to split the suite
into finer packaging.
Maybe the whole story is bogus, but having Writer and/or Impress
and/or Calc is a must to stand well in reviews, IMHO
