--- Comment #4 from Dima Panov <fluffy@FreeBSD.org> ---
As maintainer, I see no reason here to drop latest *STABLE* release in favo=
ur
of *PREVIOUS* stable one.=20

Another showstopper here is i18n packages and dependencies.=20

Keeping another release in the tree will require to bundle all i18n (All on=
 of
all off without a choice or write a long long set of lang options which is
non-intuitive and confusing users) *AND* all required libraries which can b=
e at
different versions instead of present in the port tree. Office suite is very
fragile and require *EXACT* dependencies versions to build and run correctl=
y.


So my answer is no. Only one stable release will be present in ports tree.
Sorry, pal, but this is a real life. Noone wants to volunteer here and I ta=
ke
all job with office suite mostly alone, without any sponsorship.=20


Even ports quarterly users got a massive update bunch every three month so =
what
a reason to skip office which releases every 5-8 weeks?

Take a look at https://repology.org/project/libreoffice/badges
Every major distro follows latest stable release of LibreOffice.=20

If u do not want updates simply not run 'pkg upg' on your machine.
