Given that ubuntu, like fedora, remove some parts of openoffice because 
it doesnt fit in with their views, the first thing I do is remove it, and 
use the deb from openoffice.org, easy upgrades via dpkg, and you get the 
complete openoffice as well as the latest. But I conceed thats fine for 
people like us who know what we're doing, but for many avg joe's they'd 
have no idea you could even do it, letalone how to do it.

I fully support your comments, and I like the idea of core and consumer.
