And that is absolutely fine! In fact for those with similar inclinations, here is a link to our archived releases: /librreoffice/old <http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/> Of course even from these users we (the LibreOffice project) really need folks to install the developmental and pre-releases, in parallel of course [1], both to see emerging features (or regressions) but more importantly to provide feed back to the design, development and QA process. That is an aspect of care and feeding a FOSS project that users should not abdicate. LibreOffice is a great project, please participate.
