Hello, i agree with Tobias.
The name change involved with LibreOffice is only a "problem" because the somewhat inactive OpenOffice stays available. Also, the user base is far less technical than the OpenWrt user base. If the teams merge, which i hope, there will be HTTP redirects and so on - so this wouldn't be a problem for OpenWrt/LEDE.
