I think because Wine by its nature will need a steady stream of updates to
cope with the latest APIs and applications (not to mention newly discovered
bug-compatibility fixes and obscure behaviours of existing APIs), a 'rolling
stable' release policy might make more sense.

OTOH if you have some Windows app that happens to work with Wine 1.0.x, you
certainly don't want to see it break or change behaviour (even if the new
behaviour has a 70% chance of being an improvement) without warning. So I
can see both sides of the argument.
