My understanding is that Ken's work also fixed real applications, and
therefore reverting it would also create regressions. At least when we
take the correct approach, the bugs can be fixed without introducing
new ones.

We shouldn't be making stable releases when a feature like WGL is in
the middle of major work.

If it's the patch adding DECLSPEC_HOTPATCH to CreateSemaphoreExW,
that's already in wine and has been since 1.5.28.

"Patch which disables optimization for CreateEventExW" would be
rejected in seconds. It looks like something that only works by
coincidence.

It seems Anastasius Focht figured out what was really going on and
wrote this comment: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33125#c110
. So it just needs someone to write the patch and maybe add a test.
