That would be true if Wine was universally viewed as important. However 
there is a sentiment among free software radicals that because Wine 
makes it possible to run Windows applications (which are viewed as 100% 
non open-source), it's bad for Linux, open-source software, etc. So this 
title just confirms that sentiment and is thus not necessarily 
provocative (except on a Wine mailing list).

So I think the opposite tack would be more provocative:

What makes Wine THE most important open-source project

or

Wine: Still the most important open-source project


or for a different talk:

Status and future of the most important open-source project: Wine
