decouple system and userland apps which would do wonders for usability.
You're using a Mac now, so good luck.
But I'm pretty sure that software collections would not have helped
you to upgrade Libreoffice. Which, by the way, is possible without
upgrading everything: just compile the later SRPMs. In other words,
create your own backports repository, and find a group of people who
have the same problem to share the security and maintenance burden
around.

In that case he might use gentoo ;-) On the other hand create a
collection for LibreOffice and support it would be a lot of work.
