Steven cited the business at Wineconf of Alexandre never being "proved wrong on a technical matter". Another straw man. The part of Alexandre's patch process that is the root of this conflict between Wine development-focused developers vs. Wine user-focused developers is that which consists of style and aesthetic considerations.
No, that's clearly a technical matter, and has nothing to do with user's expectations. There is no such a thing as a "wine user-focused developer", but there is such a thing as commercial software development. Feel the difference.
Let me answer this, as a User-Focused non-commercial developer I feel the difference every time I apply my custom patch tree to WineHQ wine to produce a solaris binary, thus the argument you give is non sequitur due to the fact that self evidently I fit the exact characterisation you assert does not exist.
