Ah, that is very unfortunate. What do you think about integrating LibreOffice into GNOME desktop group/environment in F18? That means the checkbox won't be available at all, people will have to remove LibreOffice post-install if they don't want it. If I consider how many people want GNOME desktop with an office suite and how many people want GNOME desktop without an office suite, it seems like a good idea to me. It's more friendly approach. Once the infrastructure is in place in F19, we can separate it again into a standalone checkbox.

And what about the LiveCD? We don't have any comps problems there. I haven't seen any response. I think this is the correct place where questions like this should be decided, right?
