I know that the LibreOffice team is short on manpower, but I still find it puzzling that they do not treat reproducible crashes as release-blocking bugs. Instead, there are a lot of such bug reports untouched, potentially waiting to be exploited by bad people. (I reported 2 such bugs myself, neither has been fixed yet I think)


Not all crashes are exploitable.


Still not exactly ready for production environments. The lack of a decent and reliable word processor is a big argument against Linux in non-programming offices. That's too bad, because there's a lot of money and influence there and the privacy argument would otherwise be a strong advantage for Linux.
