Jeremy,

   Aren't you and the rest of the Codeweavers team a little concerned
about the longterm implications of this move?  It seems to me, and I
could be wrong, that longterm this could result in a fork of the main
Wine repository and Wine itself could split into two versions (games
and productivity).  I suppose I could ask this question over at Wine
HQ as well...  I am only asking here because it seems like there are
many Wine patches contributed by Codeweavers and what CX does will
most likely have an impact on the project.  I am curious if this would
make things easier for the Wine team as well (having two versions) but
I'll ask that question over at Wine.

Regards,
Manaen
