If you need a book instead of "Store logs in /var/log as primary option" that's not MY problem.
Well, it kind of is, because otherwise your bugs will be ignored or closed as INVALID.
If you don't see bugs and performance issues with current Wine?..
I certainly have seen plenty of bugs, and bug reports, with Wine. It's not clear to me at all, however, how changing a non-default or even default output location for logs would change anything.
Allow me to explain further:
Currently, if Wine is run from the terminal, it will output messages to stderr (and thus, if stderr is not redirected, the terminal itself). This makes messages pretty much maximally visible to the user, at the expense of possibly overrunning the terminal buffer and discarding earlier output.
If Wine is not run from the terminal, it will output no messages at all, which does in fact improve performance.
What benefit could come from changing either of these to output to a specific, fixed file location, by default, or in addition?
