Re: Counting is not so easy.

Linux users have little or no reason to get their copy directly from the LibreOffice site.

Not when you use a LTS distro (commonly Ubuntu's LTS versions) or Debian Stable. Both don't ship updates (feature updates, that is) to LibreOffice or any other package.

So in these cases, one does get to grab the latest from LibreOffice's site.

Another problem is that distros in general don't instantly update a package the moment its dev releases the update.
