And that is wrong? Wine being Open Source that everybody can download I'm not sure how you would get many people to pay for it. Packaging alone won't be a good business model because there are many Linux distributors who will and do that too for no additional cost.
Many more leave than stay. And your rudeness just helps that to happen. In case you didn't notice, your entire post was signal free. If Mike is trolling, you've been hooked.
I agree with you that Vitaly's post wat unnecessarily rude and harsh, especially considering that Bob did submit a bunch of patches no matter if they were accepted into Wine or not.

Actually, most patches *are* accepted - but I keep labouring, this isn't the point, I am promoting the concept that Wine should be for the users and that the patch acceptance policy and behaviour management should support a user (Customer) focus and need to be transparent.
