wine users - Sep 2009 - Why the hell isn't the sanity patch in WINE by now?

I just spent 12 hours installing and updating Final Fantasy XI after reading the
WineHQ page that gives it a platinum rating and says how well it works, but when
the game eventually finished updating, and I go to try it.... O-M-F-G;


Code:
fixme:imm:ImeSetCompositionString PROBLEM: This only sets the wine level string
fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x132988): semi-stub



Why, just why hasn't this patch been included yet? It makes no sense
whatsoever.... ?_?

How old is the patch? If old, will it work on the latest Wine source? Does the
patch not break too many other applications? Has it even been submitted to the
wine-developer mailing list?

If any of the above, it probably wouldn't be accepted into the main tree.
