Nice to see a release at long last - I'll be very interested to review the
release notes and see how it compares to LibreOffice.

But the AOO project has had nightlies for a while - have these not had

It will be worth reaching out to them actively in order to ascertain how
much AOO will need to be modified to fit in... Or get conflicts in place

Pushing back when a software does exist is a little less reasonable, since
the conflict is probably (and I welcome the opinion of the LibreOffice
maintainers too) not big enough to justify, by itself, a push-back.

But right now it didn't exist... Or at least not on a state that complies
