I think it is less about the code itself and more about avoiding
fragmentation and duplicated effort.  TDF would become of the official
home of OpenOffice.org.  Instead, what we are looking at one group
having the name and official control of the code base, and the other
having the vast majority of the community, developers, and
infrastructure.  That will confuse people who have grown use to the
OpenOffice.org name.
