    I find this a weird take.

    What about security patches? What about updates to document standards? What about technological advancements such as IPv6, 10bit colors, high res displays? What about bugfixes?

    Software is complex and office suites are complex by software standards.

      The last major update is from 2014 but the latest update is from February of 2023 and indeed it contains security fixes.

        You picked a single sentence in my reply and ignored the rest.

        I’d suggest you go use OpenOffice then. Using an essentially 10yr old version of an inherently collaborative software will be a nightmare.

          Because that’s the only thing relevant to the article in my opinion. This all feels like making mountains out of mole hills. There’s a project that is mostly dead but still receiving some work every now and then by a very small group of people and we want to what, get Apache to shelf it?
