--- Comment #5 from Bleeter Yaluser winehq-bugzilla@bleeter.id.au 2007-09-21 20:02:21 --- I worked around the problem with the 2.2.0 PTR (Public Test Realm) by deleting the AppDB entry. However, I'm of the opinion (and willing to be corrected) that versions shouldn't be deleted.
Now, there's no accounting for user stupidity, and as such there may be cases where people vote for a PTR. As this version never reaches a 'live' state, insofar as being a 'real' release, any votes that might get placed by a user will currently be migrated - and I believe that this would be an inappropriate action.
It's not that I want votes kept, I couldn't care less about votes against a PTR. It's that I can't obsolete a PTR without migrating votes, which to my mind 'dirties' the released versions' vote count.
