Forgive me for bringing this up again, but could this be another argument for some kind of WineTricks-like Wine application launcher that would exist as a separate project to Wine, but would apply patches, particular settings, &c in order to get particular applications to work better with the current latest version of Wine?
Users would presumably be happy because they download Wine, download the launcher, and have great user experience "out of the box" with less complication.
Devs would also presumably be happy as:
- they would be able to use it as a source of inspiration for ongoing work
- it makes concerns like this moot when it comes to appdb
Might even be a good way of gently reminding users when new versions of Wine are released...

You're free to do that if you'd like, but I don't see how that would help. The effort is better spent getting those patches put into Wine itself.
