Just a very quick / dirty way:

Please note that not one of these programs covers nearly as broad a spectrum of user tasks as LibreOffice.
As maintaining casual users, that already need to deal with a lot of real world caveats, this is unlucky.
Being a user, that started with StarOffice on a SuSE 7 something in a logistic company setting, I really appreciate any attempts to improve the situation.
I do understand that you 'just' meant to put LO into a different light when it comes to urgency of the package, and I was not putting any effort against that - the mail was, as indicated, a prove hat a POLICY against beta, as initially asked for by Atri, is not realistic. If you followed the mail thread you might also realize that within the hour of Atri raising the topic I reached out to the LO maintainer and we came to a solution for the future. We took the history of LO versions in the past into account - and the agreement was to move forward only with what upstream labels RC and final. The general rule for all packages is, as has been for a long time: the maintainer of the package is responsible to find the balance between 'newness' and 'stability' of the package and we follow the maintainers best judgment to include updates into Tumbleweed.
