If they're bothering to use AppDB, they're already in the minority of wine
users, 
and bugzilla is not that much more of a step.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have 1.0.1 in the list, but it's not that _big_ of
a priority. Fixing bugs in newer wine releases is, which is why you won't find
many people here worried about it.

PHP is easier than C to pick up. This is an open source project, not a paid for
one. You can't expect someone to fix every whim you have, when you have just as
much capability as the next person.

If you or anyone else adds it, it'd be helpful to differentiate 1.0.1 as stable
and the rest as unstable.
