I dont think you should be so quick to over-ride that maintainer's

Shouldn't we listen to the normal user more than a potentially expert
maintainer? If normal users try the app and can't run it then we,
people involved with wine, are really to blaim. If a maintainer can
use their knowledge to make the app run and document it well then
users should have success and report success. If normal users can't
then we've simply not made it easy enough for them to do or
understand.

That's why I made other suggestions and stated showing both would be more
informative.
User's may make a half-arsed attempt at installing, not reading the
maintainers notes and then moan by posting a poor rating.
The two are very different and I dont think it is best to over-ride one
with the other either way round.
A big difference would then be a pointer to a possible problem either with
the installation , the DB entry , or an over-enthusiastic maintainer.
Both seems to be the best option for a number of compelling reasons.
