That's kind of like saying, "lets keep working on our project, but
hope that OOo stagnates and doesn't change". Any time OOo changes in
an area that LO has patched, you will encounter this kind of problem.
If ODF fixes a bug, it's likely that the OOo people will also fix that
bug, possibly in a very different way. So, it isn't really "making
more work", given that this is going to happen anyway, and submitting
the bug fix to both projects will simplify things where OOo accept the
patch more or less as-is. Which would you prefer, "OOo and LO both
apply Patch X", or "LO applies Patch X and OOo applies Patch Y"?
