i don't know if Andrey Turkin's added feature is any good, but i think that networking in games is a very important function of wine, and the added feature should be branched unstable.
This comment makes me wonder what gave you the impression that a beta release was stable? It's not called 0.9.x for nothing.
for example think of all the windows => ubuntu gutsy switchers who can't help themselves and classify gaming impossible with wine, which was fine until version 9.45.
We're considering that. And then we're considering the fact that there's not really that many people working on Wine, and that having those divide their attention between a stable branch and an unstable branch might not make sense quite yet. We're working towards a version we're happy to branch off as "stable", but we're not quite there yet.
