It looks a lot like a command-line version of what wine-doors aims to be,
right? Only the installing software aspect, and not the dynamic aspect of
repositories and such.

I haven't deeply looked at it yet(only the application list), but I am not
sure what the answer is.

For one part it is dangerous that people start using it to install native
dcom
and ignoring dcom bugs. Though considering the complexity of dcom, I don't
think that anyone who does not know why he/she should not use native dcom
would suddenly start fixing builtin dcom bugs. But it would reduce the
number
of regression testers and regression reporters because it would be much
easier to switch to native dcom than to bisect and report a dcom
regression.

I think the other things like the vbo runtime, odbc drivers, ..., are out
of
scope for wine anyway, so no danger in that.

Appart of dcom I'd say yes. With dcom I can't really answer this :-/
