As things stand, Wine is not at all in a state that can be called stable, so |
| 8 |
what works with the monthly release of, say, april can very well break |
| 9 |
totally in june. To me that means there's not much use in providing ebuilds |
| 10 |
for something that is quite probable to break in four or eight weeks. |

This should change with the arrival of Wine 0.9, which we'll hopefull see |
| 13 |
this year (planned for september, see the WineConf wrapup [1]), so from a |
| 14 |
technical POV, that issue might go away at least for some apps in the |
| 15 |
not-too-distant future. |
