I don't think we'll get much traction with this unless we can reasonably tell them they only need to test the stable Wine release. But 1.0 is pretty old these days, so they probably won't bother.
I'll add it to my list of evangelism to do after Wine 1.2 hits. And also not-so-subtly suggest this is another reason Wine 1.2 needs to happen sooner ;)
There's two sides to this, though. From an ISV perspective, there's something as "release too often". I've heard fom many distros that they're not too happy about Samba doing a minor version bump twice a year these days. Of course I guess a Wine stable release once a year is reasonable, assuming we try really hard to not regress between stable releases. That depends on being able to test a lot of applications, though.
