I will, if I get the time. It takes some time to learn the enviroments...and
get my head around GIT, of course.. :-)

Maybe I am wrong, but to me it doesn't seem as it is. Moved installations have
reached gold status and installations has been known to succeed.

Rigid bug classification systems are great to an extent, i'll leave it at
that.. :-)

Yeah, I know that, but it's just so horribly frustrating to see wine fail this
objective which is so crucial for a broad Linux adoption, year after year. 
I think that wine would attract far more contributors, thus reach it's
"all-goal" far earlier if it had some of the more prestigious applications
working. Maybe not 10 years ago, but now, for sure, is the time to focus for
just a little while, IMHO.

With the exception of this message, understood.
