I would strongly oppose this for the following reasons: a) It would be read as encouragement to run proprietary software which cannot be supported (but will result in poor Will Woods being flooded with reports as experience tells us) b) It will mainly be expected to run games, which Wine doesn't - this also becomes a support trap and the myth that it's a migration tool is thus shown false and our users get a bad experience with Fedora since their applications won't work. For people who need to run Windows apps, Windows is a perfectly fine platform and with KVM I am to understand we can run it virtualized environment (provided you have the hardware) which would be safer and zero support on hands of the applications in question (we do need to support kvm, virt-manager and friends). - David Nielsen -- "Ridicule is the only weapon that can be used against unintelligible propositions.
