Grant's point (if I read it correctly) was that you were effectively
using LO, just with OOo branding, because the Go-Oo patches were
already being applied. In short, no functional distinction. So why
care now, when nothing's really changed?

Except that, on Gentoo, they effectively already had, without
realizing it. Sure, OOo and LO may take different paths going forward,
but, on Gentoo, they were already largely equivalent in deviation from
OOo upstream.

Perhaps what you want to do is ask that someone *add* and maintain an
"authentic" OOo ebuild?

(If there was demand for an authentic OOo ebuild, why wasn't there one already?)
