Patch keyword is for patches attached to bugs only and not sent to wine-patches.

Patch keyword is for patches attached to bugs only and not sent to wine-patches.
It's still useful, e.g., if patch is not accepted.
No it's not. The intension of that keyword was to fish all the patches out of buzilla and resubmit them to wine-patches. Or serve as a base for someone to improve upon. With mixing the two you make it nearly useless as most bugs will have it eventually. Especially all fixed ones.
IMHO not even outright hacks should have "patch" keyword set. Yes they give an idea of where the problem is. But they are nothing more then investigation into the cause of the problem.
