Instead of this I think that LO should have all its own extensions and
accessories and should completely divorce itself from OOo sooner rather than
later.
Let's face the reality: For most people (and ALL companies), real life
is too complicated to worry about ideological discussions about the
freedom on a project. By "divorcing" from OOo as you say you will lost
LOTS of potential users, specially those who depends on key extensions
or self made macros... Can you imagine a sysadmin saying "well, by
moving to LibO we need to rewrite almost all our macros, but that's
fine"? Well, I can't...
A complete divorce must be well planed, offering good migration tools
and good *reasons* for the change.
Breaking now will be a suicide. Full compatibility is a must for the
whole 3.3 life cycle.
Maybe for 4.0... but must be planned with great precision and the old
version must be supported for some time too.
Just my 2ยข
