Honestly, if they manage to make the transition without major problems, it will greatly improve Denmark's sovereignty.
My concern is mostly about the government depending on open source software without contributing in some way. I really hope they fund and/or contribute to both projects.
Another interesting question to consider is whether the likelihood of attacks on these projects will increase. Knowing that government(s) use LibreOffice makes it a much more valuable target for attackers willing to pull of something like xz-utils. Likewise, increasing adoption of Linux for desktop usage could result in more vulnerabilities being discovered and more malware targeting Linux desktops.
I think there's a lot to see in the near future...
