The AppDb should be for information for users or potential users. Use Bugzilla for tracking bugs and troubleshooting. It is appropriate to demand the latest beta in Bugzilla but in the AppDb it is not.
Agreed.
Why do you not want test results added to the AppDb?
We do. The problem is with people adding old versions of wine when there are newer ones to test (this was done before a stable release was made). Now that there's a stable release, it's arguable that we should always include the latest stable release in the list of versions in the AppDB. I'm not sure if we do or not, and the discussion has not made this clear. If we do, then there is no bug. If we don't, we should. Other than that, all this discussion is doing is causing a flame war.
The reason we don't want old results is that they can be misleading. While valuable for apps that have regressed (they let users know that version X works, which is all they care about), it can give a false impression of wine (for better or worse, typically worse). If someone wants to submit test results, it needs to be done with the latest version, and bugs filed for any problems.
