A lot of people seem to find that page, which is a bit unfortunate, since it's
not entirely accurate.

We've certainly thought about the issue. I can expand on that if needed, but I
think Metal support in wined3d would be undesirable. I'd much rather see an
OpenGL implementation on top of Metal, possibly as a library external to Wine.
There are considerations that make doing that well not necessarily easy, but on
the other hand, Apple's current OpenGL implementation doesn't set a very high
bar to surpass.
