I know and I am not fighting for OOo inclusion, just showing that we

already.

OOo is so big so it is an exception, is it or *several* other
applications, making the choice easier.

...and it can be argued OOo is not "cool", is "useful", you do with it
mostly boring stuff. It is also not integrated well in the desktop and
so on.

That 'not cool' argument would apply equally well to abiword, no ?

But Abiword is very small in comparison and it looks more like a GNOME application (disclaimer: I use OOo for its features)

What kind of desktop integration are you missing ?

Things like the Print dialog.

I certainly think that we should include OpenOffice once we drop size
constraints that make it impossible. It does not make much sense to have
one office app on the live cd and another one on other installs. That is
just confusing.

+1

If we are serious about OpenOffice being the preferred office suite for
Fedora, we should either provide it out of the box, or make it very easy
to get it after doing an install.

Considering its size, for those needing OOo the install DVD is a better options (and after install the updates will go smoothly with deltarpms).
