Yet another user chiming in here (how many will it take?):

I see no mention here of technical objections to Maarten's work; in fact, it
sounds as if the Wine development team turned their noses up at it without even
looking it over. So Maarten committed a faux-pas by submitting his patch at a
bad time; is this ***really*** such a harsh crime that you are doing right by
the end-users in punitively ostracizing him? Seriously?

This all looks like more of the same silly bureaucratic/political posturing to
me that we've been seeing here all along, which is a huge disservice to us
end-users who are still waiting for this major 5-year-old issue to be properly
resolved. You should be ashamed of yourselves for acting so self-righteous,
both at the expense of us end-users and as an insult to the greater spirit of
collaborative open-source software development.

My advice is to have Andrew stop wasting time reinventing the wheel, and at
least review Maarten's work and collaborate with him to work through any issues
prior to merging. We all know that Maarten has a very mature patch that is
already being field-tested by hundreds (at least) of end-users, and he has been
very eager for and responsive to feedback. We're not being fooled into thinking
that Maarten or his work should be shunned.
