Yes, I have to agree.
But isn't OpenBSD something for many different systems?
I like to run it on my workstation, somebody else likes to run it as a
firewall/server/router, whatever.
OpenOffice is an important application for workstations and the
developers should not forget to distribute it.

Yes, you don't need to run it on a 166mhz pc with 16 mb ram, but one
might want to run it with his new 3,0 ghz machine.

I don't want to multiboot ms for text production.
There might be alternatives, but OpenOffice has as many features as Word
itself and I don't think there is a better software for that, already
running with OpenBSD.
