I did have to explain to a lot of users where the .config went and that they need to use winecfg. This was quite a bit easier than trying to figure out if winetools had messed up their configuration. If the winetools guys want to provide support in #winehq and rapid releases to fix issues then I'm all for keeping the link on the downloads page. Otherwise I'd rather not burden the people in #winehq with many users that require support for winetools issues. Another aspect is the large number of users that come into #winehq asking why app 'X' doesn't work under wine after winetools said it would. We are better off setting expectations at a level we know we can meet and not adding a burden to those in #winehq that are trying to provide some kind of user support. Chris
