Our wine-staging wiki page (https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine-Staging) says:

"Wine Staging is the testing area of winehq.org. It contains bug fixes and features, which have not been integrated into the development branch yet. The idea of Wine Staging is to provide experimental features faster to end users and to give developers the possibility to discuss and improve their patches before they are integrated into the main branch."

IMO, the real question is why dead-end hacks are being included in staging in the first place.
