I wonder what you mean by, "it's still in beta mode"? I was referring to 
the released version(s) of LO. For whatever reason, Canonical seem to 
feel the need to re-build - with changes - the standard product that is 
already available as pre-built deb packages. This smacks to me of an 
attempt at branding that adds no value to the product.
