IMO, that is neither necessary nor advisable. The FAudio dependency will not affect the stable branch until 5.0, and I expect that by then distros will have added FAudio packages to their latest release. Until then, the WineHQ packages are designed to allow installing all three branches at the same time, so users can use the stable branch for games that need it while still having the development and/or staging branches available for testing.

I don't see how staging reverting a patch early in the release process
affects stable. After all, staging isn't meant to be stable..(and I suspect
it will be restored when distros catch up).

Bleh... Now I have to decide if I want to drop this revert patch in favor of FAudio. 
How much will I be hated if I drop this patchset in Fedora?

I can tell you that users on our forum are very interested in testing the new FAudio code. A couple have already reported building FAudio and Wine themselves because of that, and one user posted explicit instructions on how to build wine-staging 4.3 without the revert patchset.

OK, then. Wine 4.3 will use FAudio in Fedora.
