I believe the decision to do not include OO.o 3.0 in 8.10 is
1. very bad publicity for Intrepid, when comparing Ubuntu with Fedora or Mandriva this is a huge argument why not to use it and rather go somewhere else.
2. very bad demonstration of inability to listen to users. I believe overwhelming desire and what's worse expectation is that OO.o 3.0 should be present in 8.10. This world runs on expectations. The strongest thing Ubuntu has going for it is the community of users, not the technology which is just a commodity. Playing these games by disappointing users is very bad precedence.
3. great opportunity to show that Ubuntu really cares what its users thinks and desire and is flexible enough to look past the red tape to do the right thing. You couldn't buy such opportunity even if you wanted to, it just happened and now it is up to the management/team to show the true color.
