Hey Kees,

So to summarize:
- we have regression in precise and some unfixed data loss bugs
- we have a SRU ready to address those (new upstream point release)
- the SRU team is not wanting to review that update since we don't have 
SRU rules compliant tracking for every single commit in the update and 
they suggested to apply for MRE
- the TB teem is not wanting to grand a MRE
- the libreoffice maintainer position is that libreoffice is too complex 
to "cherry pick" the fixes we need in a reasonable timeframe while 
assuring we don't break thing (he trusts upstream testing of the whole 
update over what a cherry pick in Ubuntu would provide)

What do you suggest as a way out of this situation?

Cheers,
