Agreed.

> Why do you not want test results added to the AppDb? 

We do. The problem is with people adding old versions of wine when there are
newer ones to test (this was done before a stable release was made). Now that
there's a stable release, it's arguable that we should always include the
latest stable release in the list of versions in the AppDB. I'm not sure if we
do or not, and the discussion has not made this clear. If we do, then there is
no bug. If we don't, we should. Other than that, all this discussion is doing
is causing a flame war.

The reason we don't want old results is that they can be misleading. While
valuable for apps that have regressed (they let users know that version X
works, which is all they care about), it can give a false impression of wine
(for better or worse, typically worse). If someone wants to submit test
results, it needs to be done with the latest version, and bugs filed for any
problems.
