Well, it kind of is, because otherwise your bugs will be ignored or closed as
INVALID.

I certainly have seen plenty of bugs, and bug reports, with Wine. It's not
clear to me at all, however, how changing a non-default or even default output
location for logs would change anything.

Allow me to explain further:

Currently, if Wine is run from the terminal, it will output messages to stderr
(and thus, if stderr is not redirected, the terminal itself). This makes
messages pretty much maximally visible to the user, at the expense of possibly
overrunning the terminal buffer and discarding earlier output.

If Wine is not run from the terminal, it will output no messages at all, which
does in fact improve performance.

What benefit could come from changing either of these to output to a specific,
fixed file location, by default, or in addition?
