I put in a request, as part of our graduation process, to have our

The issue is requesting a move to http://www.apache.org/dist/ooo, but
shouldn't this better be named */openoffice (or */aoo)?

Herbert -- see comments by Henk on the ticket. It does appear that
/dist/openoffice will be the new top-level name for our *next* release
-- nothing will be moved now. Perhaps this was already communicated to
infra and I was not aware of it.
Also, of more immediate concern is the archiving of the 3.4.0 source
release and possibly the 3.3. patch.
All of this is driven by the nature of /dist/, how it is mirrored
outside Apache, and the pretty substantial resources taken up by our
release.
There are consequences to moving something once it is there - some
mirrors might end up with both areas mirrored, for example.
The best way to resolve that (in the opinion of infra - AIUI) is to move
the location on our next release, this allows for planing of resources
and the notification of the mirror network. It seems a reasonable
approach to me.
