One more time...would not establishing the practise of accepting test results
using the current stable (whatever version it be at the time) or anything newer
in the AppDb (not in Bugzilla) solve this?

What if the test results are good...ie the app does work? Then not accepting
the test results just means that there is no information at all for the
potential user.

If the results indicate problems, then the user/tester should be encouraged to
upgrade but if all is well there should be no need for the user to have to
upgrade (or downgrade to stable) to "fix" something which is not broken.

>Considering those versions will not be fixed....

The purpose of the AppDb should be to inform potential users of how an app may
be expected to perform under wine, not to inform developers of bugs in wine
that need to be addressed. That is for Bugzilla, where it IS appropriate to
demand testing with the latest beta.
