If you’re trying to ask whether LibreOffice is dead then I think the answer is no. Because right now, even with minimal updates for small bug fixes or security or what not it does what a lot of people need it to do.
What I look for from that office suite today is very similar to what I wanted from it a decade ago and probably a decade from now it will also be filling a very similar role. So of course it’s good to modernize and continue to make improvements, but at the same time a lot of the things that humans want to do on our computers for work and hobbies are largely the same as what they were in decades past. So if we have something that’s stable then we win.
Your first question is a challenge to understand and could do with clarification. The second question is orthogonal to the disputes and membership situation, and may be unaffected if the people involved don’t conflate the two.
The question is: is LibreOfrice now as dead as LibreOffice is? How significant are the contributions by Collabora?
