Dear Sir:
Our whole shop is built around Open Office and now LibreOffice.
We supported OpenOffice by buying subscriptions from SUN.   This is still a 
valuable product and needs to be supported.
There are some things that LibreOffice dropped - such as the history function.   
My only guess is that it was a security issue.  One of the most handy 
features.
