There are no plans to do a winelib-only port, that's not useful.
In that case, I think we should stop advertising it in the FAQ: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Where_can_I_get_further_help?
https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Is_Wine_an_emulator?_There_seems_to_be_disagreem... "Winelib can be used for porting Windows application source code to other operating systems that Wine supports to run on any processor, even processors that Windows itself does not support."
https://wiki.winehq.org/Winelib_User%27s_Guide#What_is_Winelib? "Another benefit is that a Winelib application can relatively easily be recompiled on a non-Intel architecture and run there without the need for a slow software emulation of the processor."
If winelib for non-Windows supported architectures is no longer supported, then we should remove these references / advertise it as such. Currently, for me, the top result on stackoverflow mentions that it's supported, for example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1937291/advantage-of-winelib
