Regardless, I consider renewed input from openoffice maintainers
essential before any potentially disruptive upload, so your input is
useful to me and hopefully also to the release team. I'll be on
pseudo-vacation from 7/17 until maybe 7/24 or so, so I probably would
want to wait until after then anyway. I'll of course still wait for the
release team before acting. Thanks.
