In practice, a time interval of 12-15 months would be sufficient.

Note: the release cycle of LO is much too short, even if this is always 
presented as an advantage.
I could write "imho", but the truth is that the one is a tangible practice 
problem for professional office users. Because I offer commercial support for 
OO and LO, I know what I'm talking about.

Do you know the story of the hare and the hedgehog?

Yes, the users want that, but would not it be right and honest to tell the 
users: 
'if you want MS Office, then use MS Office and not OO'

> (4) deconflicted feature requests.

I do not know what you mean specifically with "deconflicted".


> What do people think?

I think _in the present situation_ it is better to work more and to discuss 
less.

I am unfortunately not a programmer of OO, but I support the project with user 
support, as a member of the project www.prooo-box.org and as a moderator in the 
forum http://openoffice.org.
I have regularly supported the project through translations of the release 
notes into the German language.



greetings,
Jörg
