I've already explained why they aren't useless for our users. As for Wine
developers, we perfectly understand they're useless for them, and already only
fill bugs when testing with the last release. Where is the problem?

Sometimes you pick up an application that has been droped for a long time and
has not received test since 0.9.XX. In this case I'd like to do a good job and
not only submit test data useful to a fringe of our users, but also to those
that aren't knowledgeable enough or willing to use different repositories.

I also explained why some people would rather not risk being unable to use an
application in the event a newer wine release breaks things. You're not in that
position, I'm not either, that doesn't prevents me from understanding other
people's situation.

I also note you haven't acknowledged that at least Ubuntu only ships stable
wine packages in their repositories.
