The big change here is rewriting the patches to avoid the term "blacklist", which I have replaced with "naughty list".
In this context it's not clear what naughty means. What in a file extension is "badly behaved, disobedient or mildly rude or indecent"?
Several built-in Wine programs are badly behaved in the sense that they associate themselves with file types that native desktop programs are better suited to open.
Would it be a problem to remove such integration completely? I can't
think of a good scenario when it would be useful.
The associations have to be in Wine for programs that call `start.exe <file>` to open a file.
This has to be a prefix configuration, not affecting opening/strating things through DE. E.g. 'wine start test.txt' supposedly expected to open notepad, that doesn't have to be configured for DE associations. Maybe you're talking about something else, I meant this part:

Builtin programs or installed programs only need shell extensions stuff in registry to open via 'wine start', they don't have to touch system configuration.
Is that a different issue?
