At a wild guess, because there are not enough devs in the LibO project
to fix all the bugs in the current OOo code and develop new features at
the same time ? There is always hope that some of those rather annoying
bugs that seem rather hard to fix or obscure to determine might actually
get sorted out by the OOo project ;-) Look at Base for example...and I'm
just guessing.
