I just noticed this new article. It seems to have a complete
description, including uninstalling LO and blocking future updates:

Does anyone see any technical errors? If not we might want to link
to it.
I did not read everything in detail but what I read looks good.
Except maybe step 4: the disabling of automatic updates of openoffice
from the package repository.
Should we ever setup our own repository (see below) or add our
packages to the official repositories then the changes had to be undone.
But who would remember these changes to /etc/yum.conf?
My experience is that if you do NOT disable it, then every time you do
an update, it tries to over-write what you installed with what is in the
repository. Unclear how that works now that LO is what is included with
Fedora.
