Can you point to some information that more clearly defines the
differences between the official versions and the winehq-budget
versions?   Not trolling!

Shortly after Hardy came out I had a few programs that worked with the
winehq versions that didn't with the official versions. I don't know
why - it's quite likely I could have made the official versions work,
but I have an aversion to twiddling with wine, since it's a Sisyphean
task. I 'pinned' the packages and haven't upgraded since, because I
know regressions in wine are the norm not the exception.  Since then
I've seen updates to both, and wondered how it all relates.

Anyone have some authoritative info?
