(I don't say patches have to be merged, just to not > waste precious wine contributors time so Wine can move forward faster) * Of the last 1000 merged commits, only about 11 have focused on ws2_32 (4 that didn't only add/modify tests). Maintaining the patch is thus not hard. I haven't had to make any code changes other than resolving merge conflicts since it's been approved; all of the tests still pass. * Since this patch took so long to get into a mergeable state, it's probably not as high up on the list of patches to be merged, although I obviously don't know Mr. Julliard's workflow. * I'm not able to devote too much time to Wine at the moment, so my time isn't being "wasted", per se, not that it would be even if I could given the low maintenance requirement of this patch. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/2786#note_42096
