This is not only our fault. You're right when it comes to older 
versions but regarding newer versions of OOo 2.x and native 3.x 
there were simply no users that tested OOo for PowerPC Macs so the 
PowerPC versions remain "Releases Candidates" as long as there is 
no QA done and "Release Candidates" can be found either on the 
extended mirror network of OOo or in the case of Mac OS X versions 
on the good-day.net mirror. Once a release candidate passes QA we 
can officially distribute it on our official mirror network. 

German community e.g. did this and so we have both available Intel 
and PPC from our main download site. But it seems easier to 
complain than actually doing QA for PPC.
