One interest in using "official" RPMs, from OpenOffice or LibreOffice,
is their limited set of dependencies. They don't require gnome, and
this makes a big difference on headless, soundless machines.

I am also using a meta-package to ease installation of "official"
*Office. It is far from perfect, because it don't work if I just do 
yum update openoffice, I have to uninstall openoffice* ooobasis* and
then install again openoffice (or libreoffice now). 

So : me too ;) 
(I am interested to hear about a better way to install official
LibreOffice...)
