    Why? Lots of people are using wine.

    That’s like saying we shouldn’t be including modules for reverse engineered hardware that only benefits that company

      No, that’s not quite the same thing, I fundamentally don’t think it should be Linux’s goal to be a good windows emulator. It’s fine if wine exists and people use wine for that, but I don’t think that should be a goal for the kernel, this starts pushing into that territory. Hardware support very much is the Kernel’s job and modules which benefit it should be there if it’s meaningful
