An installer for Windows (and macOS) with an outdated ASF logo is
"broken" (in my eyes) ;-)

80% of our downloads are for Windows, 15% for macOS. They should see the
new logo!

the logos are visible just at 2 places:
- splash screen
--> With the modern PC systems these days it's visible for only - hm, let's say - 1,5 sec.

- About dialog
--> IMHO a dialog that is one of the most seldom opened dialogs in
OpenOffice.

I don't want to sound too negative. I just doubt that the most users will notice this graphical change. ;-)

However, at the end it's the decision of the Release Manager if he is accepting this as a blocker.

Apart from that, no code! Just some graphics...

Sure, but every change is a risk. And it should be prevented in general when it's not necessary. I don't make a difference between code and non-code.

Paranoia? Maybe.
Experience? Yes.

If we decide to get the new ASF logos for the installer, we should also
update the setup icons for Windows/macOS and the Intro/About Dialog. But
there has been a discussion with Andrea and Marcus whether to include
such things or not...

correct, new graphics cannot be a blocker for a release. Except the
existing ones are broken. But this is not the case here.

Sorry, but we should clearly think twice if a change is necessary for
a bugfix release. Every change has its own risk.

My 2 ct.
