As things stand, Wine is not at all in a state that can be called stable, s= o=20 what works with the monthly release of, say, april can very well break=20 totally in june. To me that means there's not much use in providing ebuilds= =20 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=20 this year (planned for september, see the WineConf wrapup [1]), so from a=20 technical POV, that issue might go away at least for some apps in the=20 not-too-distant future.
