Hi all,
   Sorry for being so late in responding but here are the facts why
Openoffice.org 3.0 didn't get included for Hardy :-

1. Openoffice.org 3.0 was released too close to Hardy release hence
enough testing and testers were not there.

2. During any of the Ubuntu release cycle, most of the components are
stabilized around alpha 4.

3. When Openoffice.org 3.0 was released it was thought (and rightully
so) that its too big, unweildy and intrusive to do such a big change
at so late in the game.

In fact there is a bug where discussion is going on for backporting
OO.o 3.0 for Hardy.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/hardy-backports/+bug/283137

What's happened with OO.o may & will happen again. It needs more
packagers and testers alike.

Just my 2 paise.
