Wine is big and those patches cover only a small aspect. E.g. if a distribution reports a crypt32 bug it doesn't matter if they use winepulse.drv or not, right? I'm just opposing the blanket "reject all" distribution Wine binaries created from modified source. For the Wine aspects modified by the distributions the distributions will have to do the heavy lifting. But the way we word that matters too. And of course we are always free to request a bug reporter to try to reproduce the bug with unmodified/latest Wine source.
Ah. Yes, you're right. The nuances of your disagreement escaped me, as this bug was clearly in an area affected by the unsupported patches. Thanks for the clarification. --Juan
