Although I understand the reasons behind the move, I'm not sure many
non-Open-Sourcey type people will understand the idea of forking and
how "LibreOffice = OpenOffice.org".  I imagine it will take a while for
LibreOffice to gain the same level of use/support as OpenOffice.org
does currently.

It's a rubbish new name - even if it means well. Hope the group can get the name off Oracle (not that that's a good name either, but it's a name people have knows for a long time)

More on /.
