    Long version: maybe. Fedora is no longer compiling rpm versions of libreoffice. This is a good thing.

      See the rest of the post.

      Dev time is zero sum. If you work on or spend money on one thing, you can’t also be working that same time on or spending that same money on another thing. So on balance spending the limited time / money on the desktop environment that everyone uses is probably better than spending that same time or money on LibreOffice, which although itself a worthy product has its own developers and is not a product everyone uses. And if you can save that time and still provide the product anyway though a flatpack, well that’s a pretty good deal!
