thanks for raising this, and I absolutely agree. From a legal and 
technical perspective, now it is the wrong time to issue 
@libreoffice.org accounts. I, however, heard lots of people demanding 
it, so I wanted to be at least prepared to give them to our registered 
members.

If it can wait until the foundation has been legally established, that 
would be even better, of course.
