That makes sense. In an ideal world, there would be no conflicts between
those two goals, but in practice...

Will CxGames have the same patches which are in CxOffice? The reason I'm
asking is that I sometimes run unsupported software (productivity and
games) in CxOffice and it works better than in mainline Wine, mostly due
to that extra care/patches given to CxOffice. However, from time to time
I want to check whether application support has improved in the
Codeweavers tree and CxGames would probably give me a way to do that
with a tested build.
