+1. At least on Linux, the "conflict" between AOO and LibO comes from distro packaging: you can install both, AOO and the official LibO side by side without problems.
Indeed. And since it's a packaging problem, distributions should take care of it. The "alternatives" system should be implemented more or less in all distributions already, so it could be used to allow users to switch the "soffice" alias (although I would find it reasonable to keep it for OpenOffice, but distributions will have their reasons).
Just for curiosity: is it possible to put a second launch script, so you can start the program with both, soffice and, for example, aoo?
It is, but it would be an extra one, in addition to soffice. "ooffice" would be a natural candidate (besides being the name that some distributions had already adopted when repackaging OpenOffice).
