Both, but all users who are on 3.3.0 (the vast majority) get an error 
message similar to "Could not establish Internet connection to 
update36.services.openoffice.org" as TJ wrote. If you open a search 
engine that autocompletes queries, writing "update3" will give you a 
nice list of popular queries for this problem, referencing different 
servers.

They are getting the error message, and indeed the sooner it is fixed 
the better, even though the moment when this becomes quite embarrassing 
is when Apache OpenOffice 3.4 is out and OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 users are 
shown an error message on trying to know whether updates are available.

Not sure. The wiki page seems to concern a proposed protocol upgrade, it 
might be that the current one is simpler. The address is set here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/instsetoo_native/util/openoffice.lst?view=markup
(search for UPDATEURL, set to update38.services.openoffice.org)
but I don't know where the code uses it. And I don't know whether the 
neon library removal affects the client side of this service or not.
