How to phrase Wine's success rate

That just sounds more confusing...

Is "percent of apps we tested" a formal release criterion for Wine 1.0 ?
If not, the stats seem irrelevant as far as this release is concerned.
If yes, why release with so many apps not working well ?

If you want to set realistic expectations - list major supported apps 
along with a link to appdb called "Will my app work under WINE?".  Then 
the users will have a realistic expectation of whether their individual 
apps work. Setting realistic expectations with a rather low percentage 
number just means a lot of people won't even bother trying.
