In case the above came as me being smart/cocky/disrespectful - it's
meant to say (amongst other things):
- If there is something we can do to improve things, please keep us in

- People do not know the wine internals as you do, so any feedback and
you can provide about a reasonable interface is greatly appreciated.
Taking into account the whole "we cannot really export gallium" of course.
