Please understand: I'm not saying I don't want to switch, I'm saying 
that both options should be there for those who want them.  Linux is, to 
a large extent, about choice.  You can chose your distro, your desktop, 
your shell, your editor, your browser, your email client and so on 
instead of being stuck with whatever whoever created the distro wants 
you to have and for the most part, you can get what you want properly 
packaged for your distro instead of having to know how to tweak a 
generic tarball, compile and install it.  I see no reason, frankly, why 
this type of support can't continue for OpenOffice, at least until it 
becomes clear that the vast majority of Fedora users aren't interested 
in it any more.

I've never used LibreOffice, I've never even heard of it before, so I 
have no reason to trust or not trust their judgment when it comes to 
deciding which is better.  I do, however, dislike their decision that 
"we know what everybody else wants and that's all we're going to supply."
