Hi Marvin, Well, for myself, I don't have a problem with the AOO project not having official binary releases - in such a circumstance I would strongly prefer no binary release at all. On the other hand if there is a binary release from the AOO project then I believe it should be treated as a fully endorsed action. One guys opinion.
