Regardless, I consider renewed input from openoffice maintainers essential before any potentially disruptive upload, so your input is useful to me and hopefully also to the release team. I'll be on pseudo-vacation from 7/17 until maybe 7/24 or so, so I probably would want to wait until after then anyway. I'll of course still wait for the release team before acting.
