Thanks a lot for the info and the link!
Considering that Ubuntu 12.04 is still stuck on libreoffice 3.5, and even the latest 14.04 release is stuck on libreoffice 4.2 (the official Libreoffice PPA is available with the current stable 4.3 release), I am hardly surprised.

And a similar story with any other piece of popular software, if they think they can get away with it (and they can, apparently).

Of course, with Ubuntu you can always install 14.10 (utopic) which, being still under active development, has the latest versions of things... or use a lot of PPAs... or compile everything from source... or don't use a fixed release distro, because the reason LTS releases are so stable is they only get security+firefox updates.
