Comment 9 for bug 202174

2.4.6 is exceedingly old - released in November 2006. 2.6.0 contains a lot of stability improvements, memory/performance improvements, import/export enhancements, and so on. Including it (with the fixed bug 24195 to support ODF within the abiword package) in Hardy would be a very important step for Hardy - by the end of the LTS period, 2.4.6 will be 4.5 years old, with a better alternative available for just over 3 years.

Thank you for your consideration!
