There are no words to describe the enormity of this understatement...

No, you're both missing the bigger picture: you are implicitly saying that
upgrading Wine requires all installed applications to be reinstalled
afterwards, because that is the only approach that you are willing to test. And
unfortunately for you, *no-one* uses that approach. Consider what happens when
you upgrade binary Wine RPMs via yum, for example. In short, practically *every
single one* of your users is slowly trashing his/her existing wineprefix
directories whenever s/he upgrades his/her Wine packages, and so by your own
argument, *no-one at all* should be using Wine until v1.0 is released. In my
case, that trashing can be assumed to have reached the point where Wine just
crashes now. And crashing always indicates a bug, even in beta software.

Actually, to be fair, I don't see how Wine v1.0 would solve my problem either,
unless you are  undertaking to have solved everyone's "updating wineprefix
directories" problem by then. However, that would first involve admitting that
there *is* a problem...
