You're very quick to accuse.
This is a techical list and we are technical people, so let's have a technical discussion about the benefits to Wine of the change, rather than a mud-slinging, name calling flame fest, OK?
Thirdly, the description of Wine, from the front page of www.winehq.org is "Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available." There's nothing about Win4Lin like functionality in there.
Until recently it was also "and Optionally use native registry".
