I think that depends on your target audience.
Paying customer - no workarounds, misleading advertising
New user, unfamiliar with wine - no workarounds, user will be confused,
will not understand
Wine expert user - doesn't care about rating, wants to see the HowTo
instructions and get the app to work
Developer - doesn't care about rating, wants to see how close we are to
making app work (what workarounds are left, etc..)
