Should that matter? Plenty of Win95 apps will work in WinXP. Sometimes better, due to the improved functionality/bugfixes XP implicitly provides (I can't say I know which of these features are handled by Wine, but theoretically..). Why force it to Win95 mode when it'll work in WinXP? The apps that don't work in a newer version than they were designed for are a problem, but not one so easilly discovered or solved. I'd imagine most don't have a problem with newer versions, so forcing them to use those older versions for no reason will just end up hiding Wine bugs more than helping buggy apps.
