I am afraid that OOo in the project OpenOffice_org:STABLE will 
always be a bit delayled after the upstream release because we need to 
stabilize the Novell (ooo-build) features. It might be even more delayed if 
there is an official openSUSE or SLED10 release around. Then the openSUSE or 
SLED10 release date is the right one for us...

I would like to keep the OpenOffice_org:STABLE project really stable. I do not 
want to force people to download the big best every two weeks. So I really 
would like to wait for the final stabilized build and update it once per 
three months or so. 

This time, the upstream OOo and openSUSE release are very close. I do not plan 
any more fixes for 10.3. So, I have put OOo-2.3-based package in 
OpenOffice_org:STABLE yesterday.

I might be wrong. People might want something else. I am open to discuss the 
schedules, ...
