Apologies, this email was poorly worded. Basically, LibreOffice has 2
supported releases: a "fresh" release (5.2.4.2) and a "still" release
(5.1.6.2). Since Guix already had the "still" release packaged,
upgrading to 5.1.6.2 just required a version bump. Upgrading to "fresh"
requires more work, which I don't really want to do myself because I
would have to wait way too long to iterate on my changes.
