Isn't that exactly why we marked all other scripts like this a "third party unsupported tools"? If you moving the same direction, then winetricks will fall into the same category - if you using it, ask Dan, don't bother asking people on forum, filing bugs, etc.
We already treat winetricks like that. I know I'm constantly telling users to reinstall to a clean wineprefix with no winetricks. The winetricks wiki page tells users explicitly not to report bugs here if they have used winetricks to install native dlls, and has a link to winezeug to report bugs in winetricks itself. I don't see any of that changing.
That said, I do think winetricks has become bloated. JMHO.
Bloat is really just an interface problem. It's still only a few kilobytes of shell script.
