Re: Stable, conservative, unsupported versions | libreoffice.com/download

Hello,

it is confusing, when the most stable version does not compile, as it happened to me, and when this 
is not going to
change.

I suggest recomending only versions, which either compile, or in case they don’t compile, they are 
supposed to be
publically tweaked to compile.

Regards
