Would an option be to just retire abiword? Its slowly gotten less useful in most cases because it doesn't handle formats near as well as it once did (even .odt ... going from libreoffice to abiword is ... well, painful) and if upstream isn't contuning development on it is there much motivation to keep it alive? (I'm not entirely familiar with its user base so my suggestion might be heavily greated with "OMG NOES!" replies and if that's the case then by all means keep the train moving forward ... I just hate to unnessecary work done.)
If no one steps up to maintain it sure. Upstream is still very much alive as far as I can see. It's just the Fedora package thats lagging.
Also, I think with the new compression on the Live images all the spins have the spare space for LibreOffice.
They might.
