No, it will not really help. Those updates for previous wine versions can
contain regressions too.
Remember, Wine is still beta software. Releases are snapshots. Unless we have
a declared stable release there is no point in providing unstable updates for
old unstable releases.
Of course anyone is free to maintain a few older wine versions, for the
reasons stating above, and he is welcome to do so. However, I don't think we
should spoil any existing resources on that.
