I agree with this concern. Yes we are using code from OpenOffice, BrOffice and OOGo among others, but LibreOffice is a 'new product', there has been no LibreOffice products before this one, hence we actually don't have 'new features' just features which make LibreOffice stand out from the crowd of Office suites.
