Has anyone tried deleting the openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-3 rpm?  I would
expect that it would not be updated anymore as it's not on the system.
Unfortunately this would only work for US-Eng users, but I'd bet it
wouldn't be too hard to make rpm's or even tarballs of the other
languages.  Maybe someone could talk livna or Dag into putting them on
their servers?  Even better OOorg themselves could be made to see the
light?
