Let's face the reality: For most people (and ALL companies), real life is too complicated to worry about ideological discussions about the freedom on a project. By "divorcing" from OOo as you say you will lost LOTS of potential users, specially those who depends on key extensions or self made macros... Can you imagine a sysadmin saying "well, by moving to LibO we need to rewrite almost all our macros, but that's fine"? Well, I can't... A complete divorce must be well planed, offering good migration tools and good *reasons* for the change. Breaking now will be a suicide. Full compatibility is a must for the whole 3.3 life cycle. Maybe for 4.0... but must be planned with great precision and the old version must be supported for some time too.
