The same thing with the kernel, we can use Linux instead! Create a
distribution with it and call it Lindows! Oh wait! That ship has set
sail and moved on~!

I don't see any real reason for maintaining both branches of win32

gain by fully replicating the Win32 subsystem as Microsoft Windows does it?
The idea of using Wine code to further the levels of compatibility in
ReactOS is a good idea, and it has potential to make ReactOS a good choice
for "thin-client" and terminal server systems because of the X11 driver. I
personally prefer X11 SSH tunneling over VNC/RDP, because I don't need to
see the entire remote desktop, just the applications I want to run from
there. Additionally, Linux distros might include ReactOS and use their
virtualization solutions to integrate apps installed to ReactOS into the
overall Linux desktop. Nobody would ever really see the ReactOS desktop, but
ReactOS would ensure more complete compatibility with Windows apps and
games.
I think Arwinss should be the new official win32 subsystem, but meh...
