    I hope that more government agencies follow suit.

    I like LibreOffice, but, as security is their concern, they should ask themselves if they really need software solutions with such huge complexity. Libre also has had to maintain compatibility with MS Office, which is a huge mess on its own. Such complexity makes it harder to analyze the security and block malicious attacks.

    In any case, they need to hire a large testing team for the community, because anything can go wrong without testing.
