Independently from the rest of the discussion, I think that not allowing
editing files but allowing install scripts (which can edit files) is
contradictory. That's from the 'rate how much tweaking Wine needs' point
of view. If you're looking at it from the 'how hard is it to install/run
the application' point of view then maybe it's ok, even if the install
script performs some deep / invasive Wine tweaks.
