16 Actually I would ascribe it more to the libreoffice ebuild maintainers
17 getting rid of insane amounts of bundled crap in the OOo codebase and
18 instead building against the versions already in @world.

20 The ebuild maintainer was quite active on Gentoo's planet a few months
21 back, giving feedback to users and asking for testers. The amount of
22 progress being made in unbundling OOo's shit was quite impressive (to
23 put it mildly)
