After submitting a request on the Sun comment-form 
http://www.sun.com/cgi-bin/comment-form.pl for a new release of an
OS/2 version of StarOffice 5.2 I received the following mail (after a
few days):

***
  Dear Sun customer,

  Thank you for your interest in StarOffice.

  As part of the long-term planning for StarOffice, Sun has assessed
  platform demand, momentum in the marketplace, the cost of porting
  to those platforms, as well as the business case for adding or
  dropping platforms. 

  Based on this analysis, Sun will no longer release future versions
  of the StarOffice Suite on OS/2. Version 5.1a will be the last
  version of StarOffice on OS/2. Sun will provide a range of support
  and transition assistance to OS/2 customers. StarOffice software
  will continue to be available on the Solaris operating environment,
  Linux and Windows 2000/98/95/NT.

  Sincerely, 

  Amanda Carter Sun Customer Service Specialist
