So far the upstream KDE3 integration has been working just fine with no
changes.  And patches will be submitted to LibreOffice as well, when they
are necessary.

And this is just plain silly.  Of course we are not going to fork OpenOffice!

OpenOffice/LibreOffice and build binaries ourselves if the main distros
will not build it with TDE support included.  That is a very different
concept than a fork.
