Sorry for the not the optimal edits. As you know kexi and its fixes
cannot be available in Thomas version of koffice (kexi is removed
there) and backports are only available if possible for 2.3.x or
older. The emergency patch fits to 2.3 so is an exception.
So thanks Thomas and Anne for improving the page.

Speaking of correctness, neither 'There are two similar office suites,
KOffice and Calligra, which originate from the same base but have
separate development tracks.' is strict information because at the
time of this writing KOffice software is formarly diverging to two
suites, Calligra one and {unnamed} one, and nothing concrete can be
said what's up with the KOffice name. It shall be addressed in
writing.
I don't think however I'll be insisting on that or checking the pages
since I and other devs are busy with subsequent maintenance releases
of KOffice 2.3.x.
