SUSE Partners with Collabora to Deliver Commercial LibreOffice Support | SUSE
Basically, SUSE has ceded development to others, if any, on LibreOffice. And also calling it a "community" effort--often, if not necessarily in this case--a code term for something thrown under the bus does not inspire confidence in LibreOffice.
Of course, as a champion of AOO, I *would* see it this way. But I also feel that though the desktop will be with us for at least the next generation, that at the same time we are moving to mobile alternatives, and, as far as I know, that means a more agile, lightfooted alternative than AOO or LibreOffice can offer. For it has to work well on the tablet.
