Considering that the wine RC's also have some major regression issue's, i
fully agree with Caleb. If you really want wine rc, grab it from the
arch-games repo

[arch-games]
Server = http://repo.exigen.org/arch/games/$ARCH/

Although it's still -rc4 there. 

And if you really don't like it if your not full bleeding, use testing or
abs :)
