That means that if Microsoft has dropped that API from Vista,
all apps that use it no more will function on Vista and newer
Windows generation. Therefore Wine is free to drop it as well.

Not really. Wine is designed to run Windows programs on Linux, Mac,
BSD and OpenSolaris platforms. That means that if an application is
using this API, then Wine should support it.

If this is Wine making the call internally (and no applications
explicitly depend on it), then the API can be dropped from Wine as
well.
