It's true, wineinstall works OK, but AFAIK we've decided to remove it sooner rather then later, and I guess now it's a good enough time (given that it doesn't do anything interesting anymore). So looking into the future, wineinstall is deprecated, so we'd better not recommend people use it, it will create more pain when we do actually remove it.
I don't see why we have to remove it at all. We have to remove most of its contents, sure, but even if all it does is wrap "configure;make" with some user-friendly messages it has some value IMO.
