Comment 4 for bug 1261168

As a member of LibreOffice packaging team, I agree with Mantas, the reporter of this bug.

Why so major component like an office suite will be several versions outdated and unsupported (EOL), while:
1. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) is supported till 2017.

2. 3.5.7 is EOL since 8/11/2012

3. Newer versions (than 3.5.7) successfully compiled for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) for a long time, partially by me and mostly by Rico Tzschichholz.

4. 4.1.x series packages downloaded more than 13,000 times from the 4.1.x PPA.
In other words - it's been tested daily by thousands of real users.

5. 4.1.4 released yesterday is the first version also suggested for corporate deployments.

As per all above facts, my suggest is to SRU 4.1.4 version after about a month of testing on 4.1.x PPA.
