I think weeks might be a little too soon for it to make it into a Fedora 
Core release.  I do think that about two months should warrant it, 
considering the Fedora Core releases are done two to three times a year.

They better be very important bugs, otherwise The Fedora Project will 
ignore you.  Up2Date has had awful problems for all three releases and 
they haven't been fixed yet.  The Apt compatibility is basically 
useless.  I doubt that there are any security issues with Open Office 
since it's not a Microsoft product. ;-)

You could always try making your own RPM.  I've had to do it before.  It 
also give you the opportunity to compile it for your specific 
architecture for better performance.

Peace,
