Description:

Typically in arch, the repos will house the latest stable version of an app. Unfortunately, libreoffice has taken on some bad names (libreoffice-still doesn't make any sense in english, and libreoffice-fresh just as bad).

If I was a user who didn't know any better, -fresh sounds more modern, and the one that I should have choose looking at the two.

There should only be one set, and only shipping a version that is STABLE for users. If .0 releases aren't as stable as point releases, it should sit in testing until .1 arrives. It shouldn't be more complicated than that.
This task depends upon

Have you looked to see what upstream calls them? Guess what it is:
