Hi,
Okay let me translate what Dmitry Timoshkov is really saying, "stop
copying wine code".
Which means, stop copying all wine code. We should also translate that
as meaning revert all wine code from ReactOS. Reading the email I see
"Dmitry Timoshkov <dmitry at codeweavers.com>" so now we must assume
these are also the opinions of codeweevils.com as well.
I just wanted to make sure this was understood,
James
