Any new maintainer has to take into consideration the sameproblems as well.
Not that it really matters, but just, theoretically speaking, if an Oracle developer took over openoffice.org, and pushed out a package with those features reenabled, that would be a pretty good argument that all of that stuff's patents are now latched.
