I remember you saying we should just say "we include both", I remember
objecting and saying we don't have enough info to say whether
OpenOffice will be worth including at all, whether current GNOME
Office will have enough advantages to be worth including, or whether
the benefits of including both outweight the costs.

But I guess I don't remember what got put in the minutes.

Anyway, if we did officially say we would include both, I object to
that because I still do not see how we can make that call based on
facts available.
