But how do you explain that easter eggs from OOo are included in that version ?
If it had been done internaly by IBM ?

As one who spent many years in the employ of IBM, the answer to this is
obvious. They started writing the IPFS (Initial Programming Functional
Spec) WHEN THAT 1.x VERSION WAS CURRENT. Then they did the FPFS (Final
Programming Functional Spec). At that point there was a re-org and the
FPFS had to be re-reviewed by the new management chain. Then they did
the code and all the code reviews, and sent it out for approval by every
other department in the company, several of whom turned it down (but
made it clear that they would negotiate approval in return for approval
of their project). At that point there was another re-org and the
approval cycle had to be redone. By the time this was done another six
months had elapsed and they needed to add regression testing. After yet
another re-org and re-review by the new management, they were finally
ready for a Beta release using the 1.x version specified in the original
IPFS.
See how easy it is when you understand the workings of big corporations?
