Stop what? To me this seems to be an accurate description of the actual issue
we are facing here.

Ignoring the real issue is not going to get us anywhere.

I haven't been very involved in the Wine community, but I do recall another bug
report about dwrite breaking Steam because it wasn't yet working correctly. Not
only was the dwrite code in the source tree, it was enabled by default (it
shouldn't be).

If incomplete code known to break important applications is part of source
tree, why isn't wine pulse there?

You say there are some "issues" with it. Sure, I can believe there are issues,
however, code doesn't have to be perfect in order to be merged.

Most code is merged after all the obvious issues found in code review are
addressed, sometimes with known issues and TODO's. Eventually one by one the
issues are addressed.

Not merging the code because it's not "perfect" is irrational, and that's a
fact.
