I don't think you understand anything about my background to make a judgement call about my lack of understanding about code quality. My patch did not degrade code quality and was inline with it. It simply added an option to promote users freedom and fix a bug. For a little clarity regarding my background and understanding importance of code quality: Projects involved years of R&D for mission critical highly available GPGPU accelerated algorithmic solutions for machine vision industrial robotic guidance where moments of downtime accumulate to hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars lost over minutes. I'm not claiming that means the code was pristine but it certainly had to remain maintainable to minimize downtime and support most expeditious fixes if/when bugs occurred. I'm unaware of wine being used for such highly critical and bug sensitive operations but my impression so far is that the urgency and risks are far lower than my experience with other industries. In fact Wine's more laid back and less stressful environment is what I find most appealing. Not to imply the work isn't just as important but that it is able to be performed in what I consider a more healthy mode of operation. If my GPGPU background is better suited for modules outside of wined3d please let me know so that I cause no more unnecessary disruptions and time wasted for anyone. wined3d and graphics in general are parallel with GPGPU background which is why I engaged with spare time.
