Well if you notice in the Xubuntu CD, it has OOo but not installed by
default because the aim of Xubuntu is to be light on resources and OOo
is a beast. It's an option for people.

But OOo also gives maximum compatibility across platforms. so it was a
gimmie. It's pretty trivial to remove OOo and replace it with AbiWord
and Gnumeric if needed (just use G-A-I), or even KOffice for Kubuntu
(via Adept).

The future path is for users to be able to create their own
derivatives and choose at will what they want to install by default
instead of Ubuntu creating more spin-offs.
