Indeed.  Before the tentative decision to include Gnome 2.4 I was
wondering what real reasons there would be to upgrade my clients running
RH9 desktops to RH10.  There really didn't seem to be any.  The
inclusion of Gnome 2.4 would make RH10 more attractive, but the
inclusion of both OOo 1.1 and Gnome 2.4 would really make it worth the
upgrade.

I certainly wouldn't mind waiting.  After all, traditionally, RedHat has
released as late as November in the past.  And one of the stated goals
of the RHLP is to accommodate exactly this sort of late addition.

I've been meaning to look in the SRPM and maybe this is obvious, but is
there some reason that these patches don't get folded back into vanilla
OO?  i.e. Bluecurve stuff, etc?
