This is held up on this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179852

wine-docs on FC-4 is out of sync with the other wine packages as well:
The wine-docs rpm from FC-3 is actually a better match for the FC-4 wine
than the older wine-docs.

IMHO, it would be best if the package maintainer does this.  Look at the
open bugs on your packages.  Decide whether to push them forward, close
them, or mark them NEEDINFO so that the bug reporter has the opportunity
to push them forward (like Davej's treatment of kernel bugs.)

Machines which are using RHEL4 (Most everything except the builders)
were using fe/fc3 packages when necessary.  epel will be a better fit
for these cases and we've started using this now... We haven't
completely converted yet, though.
