Should be fixed in OOo 2.0, I'm not sure if its going on by default, but
the "broken" method is definitely going to be fixed

It isn't Fedora, its upstream. Think about working on a document, making
some massive changes and then finding that autosave ate your old
document up to. No chance of undoing easily. Your wife wouldn't be too
pleased as well (as the default undo actions aren't all that high
either)
