That strategy(to no ones surprise) appeals to me, since it 
feels like common sense, and is close to how most of those I 
work/worked with think. 
But I am not sure it would have worked earlier in the project 
when having nearly working use cases would be less usual and when
having broad, or no focus would make the project more interesting
for its developers.

Anyway, It seems likely to make the most number of users happy with the least
amount of work. However, since some applications(no names) are very 
widespread/pirated AND close to working, it will have the effect of 
more or less officially focusing on certain applications, which i 
think would be hard to push through in this project for different
reasons.
To try and define the most usual "near working" use cases also means 
defining the most usual use cases since it then would be important to
keep the "working" use cases from becoming "near working".

To do that, one need needs user input which would make the project user
centric. Of course, the *entire* project wouldn't have to have the 
same focus but it would be affected. I'd think that this would be good
and appeal more to me and others as developers wanting to do good things(tm).
But I know that many does not agree.
