Putting on my mirror admin fedora, I would point out that OO is not a
small alternative thing.  Assuming it is approximately the same size as
LibreOffice, that's over 1.2G added to the release tree (plus any
updates during a release cycle).  That's a pretty heavy alternative.

I'm not saying having both is a bad thing, but I would like to think
that there's some thought given to "does Fedora gain from having both",
since there is a cost involved.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
