If we just let that "feature" die a quiet death, it would encourage
people to use Wine with builtin dlls, test them more, encourage bug
reporting and development of Wine code.
People would moan and complain, but in the end Wine and Wine users would
be better off, as they would no longer depend on anything but Wine to
run their Windows software.
