Oh right, I said to myself knowingly, especially since any release under the 
old infrastructure is essentially an LGPL release.  And it would be an 
opportunity for cooperation.

Uh, wait, I then said to myself, how do we get that back under Apache 
OpenOffice.org unless we manage to have it covered under the Oracle grant. Hmm.

And what do we do about the work that Armand Le Grand has been busily 
continuing in the old infrastructure.  He can recontribute that, of course, 
but, uh ...

Um, say again, this might work out how?

PS: LibreOffice is currently at releases 3.3.3 (presumed stable) and 3.4.0 
(early adopter) with a 3.4.1 release candidate or two currently under test. I 
think there are 3.5 and 4.0 mumbles too, but my eyes have glazed over and I've 
given up tracking the pace of builds there.

The other thing I probably should mention here is that this
presents a golden opportunity to collaborate with LO should the
"old" ooo infrastructure be considered unable to handle
another ooo release.
