"They" (WineHQ and wine-staging) have a webpage. If this was the latest "Lets
do it" agreed upon, they should post it.

Having a "we talked about this at WineConf, and if you were not there you are
left in the dark" sense to it is kinda.. well.. not what everyone else would
deem "customer friendly".

Not informing anyone about anything AT ALL makes for shit relationship with
users. If noone bothers using your software, scrap it. If ppl use it cos its
the only viable alternative, it still does not make it "ok" to be a asshat :)
(Yeah, that was meant to WineHQ devs and wine-staging devs).
