Maybe that was a bad example though it is opt-in to turn on the DibEngine even it is installed so the amount of false reports from it should be pretty low. But fine, I grant maybe the DibEngine is slightly invasive and if enabled could lead to bogus bug reports. To my knowledge none of the required patches for a Darwine build with current Wine are very invasive. Normally I wouldn't care about such things but we decided at Wineconf (in Reading I think), when the question of Mac users came up, the consensus was point them at Darwine because nobody wanted to do binary builds. I think we have a brief talk about it at the last Wineconf (I was pretty sick and out of it for most of it) but I don't recall the policy being changed. If we are going to arbitrarily decide to just nuke support for Mike's package (The only semi-actively maintained Darwine) there should be some discussion first because it was a topic at Wineconf. Like I said, I'm happy to offer my box for doing builds if there is really consensus that it needs to change.
