Maybe someone should tell them that 1.0.1 is "broken" compared to latest development release. This isn't untrue - 1.1.15 has better success with a lot of apps.
Basically, someone should tell them that Wine's "stable" branch is just a code freeze, and has nothing to do with crash-resistant stability.
That's not true, we spent a lot of time fixing regressions for 1.0, and it's clearly higher quality than many of the development snapshots. Of course some apps may work better in 1.1.15, but some are broken too.
Saying 1.0.1 is too broken to be supported is silly, it was working just fine 6 months ago, and it is still working fine for many apps.
I don't see a 1.0.2 being developed though. I'm sure there are still a lot of bugs that could be fixed in 1.0.1 - correct me if I'm wrong here. But I based my statement on the fact that many users on #winehq have come in with a problem in 1.0.1, and upgrading to the latest available development version fixes their problem.
