It means "it should not keep the release of whole LibreOffice 4.0.0 from
happening on Week 6, Feb 4 - Feb 10, 2013 (if it is not fixed by then), which
is the fixed date for that release".

I'm not sure I agree.

> Does this mean that 'we should not spend too much time or effort on this',

No, not much to do with amount of effort to spend.

> 'this is not really a bug'

No.

> 'people could get along as is' etc

No. It means "not big enough of a problem to make the release late and keep
users of other modules from having all the goodyness in 4.0.0".

You also have to realise that this is the commenter's opinion, not the
project's official decision.

Nolo contendere on *my* side (but again, just my opinion).

> This bug has never been fixed since at least Ubuntu 12.04 or LO 3.5.

It is not known to us that this bug is in LibreOffice 3.5.x, for any value of
x, as this bug has been reported against 4.0.0.alpha. Have you reproduced it in
LO 3.5.x? Please give detailed reproduction instructions, exact version, etc.

On the other hand, if this bug is there since the days of 3.5.x and nobody
complained up to now, I cannot justify to the whole project that it should
block 4.0.0, since we already have TWO major releases with that bug in it!

> Consequently Librebase should not be on Ubuntu at all.

We have no control over what is or is not in Ubuntu.
