Has anyone considering talking to Canonical about getting a more recent wine version included in wine? While they understandably don't want to introduce too new of versions, they also need to take into account that we release every two weeks, much faster than most other projects.
Not going to work. The whole point of a distribution release is to keep the versions of the programs stable and just do security fixes. That way, you're safe from any potential regression in the programs you're using. I agree that Wine tends to release too often for the usual distro release cycle, but I'd argue that so far we've not done a too good job about _not_ having regressions. So I doubt the distros will upgrade the Wine versions post-release.
