That's not a philosophy, that's just facts.

You are confusing things. Windows API implementation is Wine, file handle limit
comes from an underlying OS, and Wine can do nothing about it. Adding a WARN
will not makes the failing apps suddenly work, that obviously has nothing to
do with the quality of the Windows API implementation.
