Just confirming what I see, you managed to get rid of the Epoch by 
getting rid of the binary RPM called "koffice" and "koffice-i18n" and 
replacing it with koffice-core and many other sub-packages?

I never seen that before.  I suppose that works ... creative way to get 
rid of the Epoch.  Not sure if we want to encourage this in other 
packages though.  I suppose the -core precedent matches openoffice.org 
so this is OK in this case.

What happens if someone using FC3 does a yum upgrade to FC4, does this 
koffice automatically pull in koffice-core and equivalent functionality 
that was working before?

Is koffice-core useful for anything on its own?  Not a huge problem... 
but it sounds like a lot of work for a user to install the entire suite.

Maybe koffice-core would be more accurately named koffice-libs?  Just an 
idea.

It appears that 1.4b is available upstream, with more bug fixes?
