Switch back ?

"It should be noted that, even in the Linux world, most major distributions have switched over to LO, or plan to, so some kind of a switch back to OOo would be required."

Euh... not completely true. Most Linux distributions, because of the slow processes at Sun/Oracle didn't use plain-vanilla OpenOffice but http://www.go-oo.org/

Which is a set of patches against OpenOffice which were not yet accepted.

One of the first things that happend after LibreOffice source repository was created is to merge those patches. Maybe of the Linux distributions are in the "LibreOffice-camp".

So the Linux distrbutions have always been using the same "lineage", only the branding changed.

If they switched to OpenOffice.org it be like switching back to what they were using many, many years ago.
