In theory, any third party application here is essentially a temporary workaround until underlying bugs in Wine can be fixed properly.
If the change is a dirty hack to Wine's source code that allows an application to run, then the change may end up within Wine's source code only after it has been properly fixed. As such changes to Wine must meet some level of QA. For example, the change may break Wine for other applications and/or platforms. Users want to run applications and sometimes a change to Wine can cause an application to work, but this change cannot be incorporated into Wine for some reason. If you have questions regarding the use of a third party application, please use the support mediums provided by that third party rather than Wine HQ. It is important to understand that although these third party applications may make Wine more usable, they are not supported by the Wine project. Over time, there have been a variety of Third Party Applications that have attempted to make Wine more useful or easier to use.
