Comment 46 for bug 267376

I would love to see OpenOffice.org 3 in Intrepid.

I belive, that when you don't include it, everybody will get it through PPA and download it anyway. Escpecially the users which really using it daily! Yes, I know, its okey to use PPA's! I love them too! BUT when a huge amount of users use a PPA, then the package should be included into the distribution!

Colin wrote, its far to Risky to include it in this stage of the release cycle. But what about the users which want to use OpenOffice.org 3 and therefor use the PPA (which will be a huge amount of users)? Its risky for them too! Thats why the "its risky" argument doesnt count for me! I think its more risky to have a vast amount of users out there, which uses the PPA just to get OOo 3. You cant just shirk responsibility and say "Ah, its not working? He is using PPA? Not our Problem!" when everybody is affected... So Ubuntu has to take care for the OOo 3 Packages anyway, which leads to the question why not include it!?

When users call for something, it sould be included! If you dont do it, the users get it at their own way, and the system is probably less stable. This brings a negative credibility regarding stability also....

I would prefer a delay of Intrepid, if it bring OOo 3 with it...
