The appdb code currently prunes the list to several of the most recent versions so people don't submit entries against older or obsolete versions.
Of course. It's just a question of the right cutoff. It seems reasonable to me to include the version bundled with gutsy, even if it's getting old, because gutsy is so popular.
Is it really useful to have test results submitted such an old version when we almost always ask users to upgrade to the latest version in the #winehq channel or in bugzilla?
Perhaps. Some things did run ok with it, and we have had some regressions since then.
We do mention that if their version is older than the listed version the user should upgrade. Users that submit results with the wrong or old version may mean well but may not be the kind of test results we want to rely on.
Sure, but one goes to market with the users one has, not with the users one wishes one had :-) - Dan
