Not all fixme's are harmless. Most of them are actually potentially hazardous - most of the time they indicate missing features.
I also don't see how supressing fixme's has something to do with "stable" releases anyway - a "stable" release should probably immediatly terminate the process on any fixme since continuing execution might lead to instability.
And such a "stable" wine release would be pretty useless right now.
People choose to use whatever there is because there is no other choice, in these circumstances it would be more suitable to release a version suitable for users which will mean you get bug reports."This is still a developers only release. There are many bugs and unimplemented features. Most applications still do not work correctly."
Bug reports without any hint what actually went wrong. The user's might maybe even get the idea that the application is buggy and not wine.
