Clearly there is an overwhelming desire on the part of the users to have OpenOffice 3.0 in Intrepid. In normal circumstances, I understand that there should be no delay in releasing Intrepid. The fact that an application is not released in stable enough form to be included is not normally a reason to delay the release.
OpenOffice is a core application - it is one of the primary applications that is a 'seller' for Linux. The fact that it is included and installed by default is an important consideration. If Intrepid cannot be delayed, then I would suggest that ubuntu should release Intrepid 8.10.1, with the key requirement that OpenOffice 3.0 is included. I understand that this is normally done only for an LTS release, but I would suggest that these are exceptional circumstances. It is important, especially for new users, that their first experience with ubuntu is a positive one. The fact that OpenOffice 3.0 is out there, but not included in an initial installation of ubuntu will detract from the experience. Not sure who needs to be involved in the decision, but I think most users would agree that waiting six months to have OpenOffice 3.0 included in a standard ubuntu installation is not acceptable.
