Hello Nick,
there's no change in the stable policy, I'm just slow with 7.0.1. Lack of time and motivation. The type changes early in the 7.x devel version make detecting good patches a pain due to the long chain of dependencies. Also cleanly applying patches require printf format fixes.
https://github.com/mstefani/wine-stable has the patches that I've collected until now. Though some of those still require printf format warning fixes.

We noticed that the 7.0.x stable branch is currently at 7.0, and the 6.0.x stable branch has had some maintenance releases after the release of 7.0, so there have been some bug fixes backported to 6.0.x (e.g. 6.0.4) that are not available in the 7.0 stable release.
Would the Wine team be willing to do a maintenance release for the 7.0.x branch to include these bug fixes (and possibly others)? If not, would you please explain the rationale behind that decision and the intended stable branch release cadence?
Thanks for your time,
Sarnex
