OO.org 2.0?

Is there any chance at this moment that we'll see OpenOffice.org 2.0 in 
hoary?

My teachers tend to overload me with powerpiont, exel and doc files, and 
since I'm not in the position to force the university to start using 
open source, I'm eagerly anticipating Openoffice 2.0, since it should 
handle these files a lot better.
I understand this is a vital package for most people, and uploading it 
too soon would be ill-considered, but perhaps it would be good to upload 
the two versions side by side. Leave 1 on the cd, and allow it to be 
replaced by 2 for those who need it.

Waiting another 8 months for the next ubuntu version after hoary would 
be unfortunate, as would be running an unstable version on a production rig.

Regards,

Hidde Brugmans
