That 'not cool' argument would apply equally well to abiword, no ? 
What kind of desktop integration are you missing ? 

I certainly think that we should include OpenOffice once we drop size
constraints that make it impossible. It does not make much sense to have
one office app on the live cd and another one on other installs. That is
just confusing. 

If we are serious about OpenOffice being the preferred office suite for
Fedora, we should either provide it out of the box, or make it very easy
to get it after doing an install.
