Much part of CSMT code stay on recent wine releases but needs more, however wine devs want make something big

Sometime ago stefan dosinger talks about it, when wine 1.7.21 launched

I am working on upstreaming this work, but we decided to move d3d resource management to a d3d11-like model before we merge the command stream things.

This takes a while, as every change raises new questions about how some things work in ddraw, d3d8, d3d9, d3d10 and d3d11.

If this continue equal CSMT can be suffer delay, in my opinion this change give long delay because this change needs more time (many releases after stay ready for stable wine release)

But on good side, once stay ready in teory wine must be work on better from on highly multithreding cpus (wine can use better quad core cpu and upper cpus 6 or more cores, in theory AMD CPUs with 4 or more cores could run much better than run now)

However can be use stefan dosinger git but only bad thing is this type of wine (patched wine) dont have wine support (then have forbbiden uploading results using wine patched versions) and this are needed for report issues

At this point if you want the best Wine experience then you don't go through the official Wine. Using unofficial PPA's like this one for CSMT or use Obibaf's Gallium Nine PPA which even gives you directions to use Sarnex's Wine PPA.
