I don't have "hatred". Not to Apache.
There's just the technical problems here, beside that the archive then would
have two of this size, thus having double loads on it and the buildds.
Especially on the slow archs, and you have *any* chance to get into a debian
release you would ned to keep all architectures, as this isn't a new package
but a continuation and openoffice.org built on
openoffice.org | 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze4 | squeeze | source, amd64, armel, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
And security needs to support both, I don't think that they would want to
do that either.
But in the meanwhile I saw the originating thread on the apache side
which consists also of simple lies...
