Yes. I'm also wondering what the hoopla is all about. In the past when using CentOS I always installed the OpenOffice and later LibreOffice RPM:s from the upstream to get a non-ancient version.
Now that I have been mostly using Fedora and Mint, the bundled one has been new enough, a convenience, but i would keep using LibreOffice also it it meant again the upstream RPM:s, no fuss.
