This is very unlikely.
As I read LO new features announcements, I see that most of these are

Dear Miroslaw & other LibO folks,
I do absolutely not agree: I cannot see that anyone on this list should
have said that "LO devs should stop developing new features"!
But at least me - repeatedly since January - and some others too have
claimed that the LO devs should "stop stop developing new features until
there is a certain LibO-version that is completely free of bugs and
misfunctions" (and from that version on continue developing what ever).
With such a version free of bugs and any kind of problems the people in
Freiburg should never have even discussed the possibility to skip OO/LibO.
No one - not in Freiburg or in other places, in companies or in private -
can afford to waste time and energy playing with a program that does not
work, no matter if caused by bugs or no-working functions or bad
instructions.
Better then to get the works done by paying some money to MS - in the
long run it is cheaper.
