I did have to explain to a lot of users where the .config went and
that they need to use winecfg. This was quite a bit easier than
trying to figure out if winetools had messed up their configuration.
If the winetools guys want to provide support in #winehq and rapid
releases to fix issues then I'm all for keeping the link on the
downloads page. Otherwise I'd rather not burden the people in #winehq
with many users that require support for winetools issues. Another
aspect is the large number of users that come into #winehq asking why
app 'X' doesn't work under wine after winetools said it would. We are
better off setting expectations at a level we know we can meet and not
adding a burden to those in #winehq that are trying to provide some
kind of user support.
