The problem I have with marking hacks as STAGED is that will create an endless procession of users asking when the fix that has been STAGED for x years is finally going to be included in Wine. The distinction Sebastian has been trying to make between hacks and patches being worked on has not been made clear enough to users--they should not have to hunt through an outside website to find that out--but IMO it is a useful distinction.

Sure, the distinction is useful. I think ideally we'd make that
distinction by not putting dead-ends in staging though.
