And that is absolutely fine!  In fact for those with similar inclinations,
here is a link to our archived releases:

/librreoffice/old
<http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/>  

Of course even from these users we (the LibreOffice project) really need
folks to install the developmental and pre-releases, in parallel of course
[1], both to see emerging features (or regressions) but more importantly to
provide feed back to the design, development and QA process. That is an
aspect of care and feeding a FOSS project that users should not abdicate.
LibreOffice is a great project, please participate.
