I wonder how you could have imagine they'd submit their user to unstable
versions?

Hardy is supported for 3 years, that's still 2 years and a half. Intrepid is
going to be supported for 18 month, jaunty will be the same (and it's not even
released).

Thing is, for wine developers there's already bugzilla. AppDB is for users, and
most of them are using the stable releases.

Breakage happens between different unstable releases, and a distribution that
pushes new unstable packages every two weeks would seriously need to rethink
it's goal.

If you consider wine as a glorified xmame, that would be ok. Please bear in
mind it's also use in businesses and for professional applications.
