Because Ubuntu has Mark Shuttleworth's big pockets behind it. If you pay
developers to back-port fixes it works. However if you rely on developers
that work on whatever they find interesting then it is hard to convince them
that back-porting is fun...

AOO still has so many bugs that were already solved in LO and has so many
new LO features missing that loading yesterday's AOO daily build felt like
going back in time...
