Sure, but we can't fix one set of applications and break another set at the same time.
I don't know a single application which breaks when using this flag by default, do you?
No, but it's easy to imagine that it will break some applications. For example, an app that wants to find an unused port may run a loop increasing the port number and rely on getting an error from bind, so it can try the next port.
So instead of fixing _real_ applications you're talking about some _imaginary_ applications (with some very odd behavior) which _might_ break should we make this change?
I've always thought real applications are of utmost concern for Wine development.
