Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues

I wonder why Apache continues to support OpenOffice. Its barely moved since 2014 and hasn’t even had a security update since 2023. They could archive it as an active project (keep the code available for those who want it) and redirect most users who land on the OpenOffice site to LibreOffice.

If Apache archived all their dead projects, they wouldn’t have any project left.

  What? If nothing else, Airflow is massively used. Kafka is also quite very popular, I see those two very, very often.
  
  Even good old httpd, while having lost its crown to nginx, is still powers like 1/3 of the web.
  
  News of Apache death seem greatly exaggerated…

    There’s a ton more too. It’s quite surprising how many projects that have. Isn’t Cassandra theirs too?

  I’m not sure you understand the scale
