One could argue Windows itself is a mis-feature. :P Isn't the point of Wine to 
duplicate Windows, feature-for-feature and bug-for-bug? IMO, autorun 
capabilities should be included, though I personally don't care if it's on or 
off by default, as long as there's an option in winecfg. I'll just turn it 
off myself. Or perhaps even a popup notification upon the first detected 
autorun-capable disc, asking if you want to turn autorun on or off. 
autorun.inf needs to be parsed anyway, since it can set an icon for the 
drive.
