Sure. because only 'hardcore Linux users' use Wine. That's just what I see
every day when I look into #winehq. Hardcore Linux users who never need help
with the basic questions of compiling Wine from source or updating to the
latest Wine release, but who are stopped from running their games^Wprograms
by Wine.
Excuse me while I rush out to catch one of these flying pigs,
