There is one concern about it: how to find a proper author for a
specific function he is copying? We can look at the top of the file,
but there are a number of people listed there, possibly responsible
for different parts of the file. Should he review all Wine commits
and pick an author of the patch? What if the specific function was
patched later by a few authors?
Is there a reason for not doing it this time?
Secondly, why are things being implemented in stubs?
There is same stuff in gdi32
stub.c having a few implemented
functions, iirc. Not very good decision, but as long as people
responsible remember about this.. and keep moving it to appropriate
places, I don't mind.
