Well, don't re-judge an app just based on user submitted test info.  I
still get people saying they use native msvcrt.dll when they don't
have to.  Also in the area of no-cd cracks, it's still pretty wild. 
I've found that I don't need them but some people still need them. 
Also there have been many reports coming in about problems that trace
back to their sound drivers.

I've rated my apps gold because I truly don't have any trouble, but
there seems to be issues beyond the control of wine that makes some
users experiences less than gold.  I've tried my best to help everyone
but it's really hard when I can't see what's going on and the user has
hardly any debugging experience.
