IMHO releasing LibreOffice with known bugs is better than postpone the release to eternity. It will never be bug-free. After 3.3 3.3.1 will come, with the opportunity to fix more bugs. At first sight I also did not like multi language installer and help packs. Now I feel relaxed about them. :) Let's see how the users will welcome LibreOffice.
