Missed the best bit.  Using a loader program running as root under older Linux kernels it could assign the capabilities and still run wine as a normal user with the network access it needs.

All that is really in 2.6.24 kernel is a simple way to avoid having to run security raising  program to get there or use a LSM.

So the need to have wine itself running as root is well and truly passed on linux.
