Please clarify some things then since you've voluteered to become new
wine-staging maintainer:
1. what's your vision as a maintainer for the future of wine-staging
besides an obvious attempt to perform a "total clearance" of existing patches?
2. what kind of development is going on or is planned in the staging tree
after Sebastian's and Michael's departure?
3. what's the role of wine-staging.com in the project?

It's sad, but you clearly don't understand the things I tried to explain
to you so many times already.
