Is it time for the LO-developers to get back with OpenOffice too ?
In a word, no.
I agree, but I'd like to hear your reasons why "no"...

Why would LibreOffice what to go backwards? The last time that OOo code
was introduced into the LO code there were big parts that had to be
redone. LO already has features that OOo does not have. The way it
stands those features will not make it into OOo/AOOo unless the
developers donate the code needed directly to AOOo. With the current
licensing setup LO code can not be used in AOOo, though LO is free to
use any and all code from AOOo. Seems quite simple to me.

Thanks. Your answer helps me better understand! LO does seem to be
better than OO.o, though I only replaced OO.o 3.1 with LO 3.3.x.
I wish they would stop (gratuitously? that may be unkind) moving things
around in the UI though. I like learning new bells and whistles, and
serious new features, but I hate to have to hunt for the old ones, and
wonder if "that" useful old feature has been removed.
