Removing this module has been in the back of my mind for about a year now and 
would like to know from others why we (I) should keep it around. To give you 
some background about its current status the following is helpful;

A historical look;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOffice

KDE Projects;
https://projects.kde.org/projects/unmaintained/koffice/repository

Do note KDE Projects has this placed in unmaintained and script kiddie has 
been the most active.

Their last official release was around 2011 with release 2.3.3. To be honest I 
have ignored this module and not even sure with the large number of changes to 
KDE since then if it will successfully compile. It appears some distros are 
doing what they can to back port. Frankly I have no interest in that area, not 
when Calligra has far more development and release activity.
