One practical implication: Linux distributions serve their own copies of
OpenOffice packages. I'm not totally sure about other distros, but I
know that at least the debian one is heavily ptached with some useful
patches . I have no idea if and when those patches will become part of
the main tree (e.g: I suspect the people of Sun don't like the Xft so
much).

So I have to choose between a difficult-to-install and somewhat
degregated package, but with the Hebrew speller and Hebrew UI, and
between my distro's better OOo that has no Hebrew speller.

Are the "Hebrew" parts available as a seperate patch?


Probably not. However, once these patches are ported back into the main tree, the Debian package is likely to carry them too. This will take several more months, probably, but that's the price you have to pay for not doing your own porting.
