I understand the being busy part too, and so don't blame him or really 
can complain much, I just wouldn't say making updates every 3 or 4 
versions as timely either (since that is normally how often the debian 
Wine packages are updated). Although, right now, 0.9.60 is in the 
unstable branch, and 0.9.59 was the version before that, so lately 
things are good.
