Probably no problem having it installed at all :)

However, if for some reason I have trouble with a document then I won't be tempted to try to use Koffice and maybe make things worse. If I have it off the system it will be a reminder to me (that's just me) that there is a reason that its not on my computer and I shouldn't use it. I'm sure that once KOffice is back in shape we will get an announcment with deserved fanfare.
