Would we limit the distribution as follows? We would not distribute to SourceForge. We would not put this on the OpenOffice.org download page. We would put the distribution on our official Apache Dist page, but not allow the Apache Mirrors to pick it up (as now, but make sure with Infra first) We would only note the distribution from the blog post and emails to all of our openoffice.apache.org <http://openoffice.apache.org/> mailing lists. We would allow the Forums to POST where it is available if it is a way to solve user issues. (I think we need to warn Infra in case too many are taking this version from www.apache.org/dist/ <http://www.apache.org/dist/>.)
