   I think these 2 are our best choices:
   
   1. Bump the Dockerfile to Fedora 37 even though we would have to install `wine-7.20` instead of `wine` and undo that change after the next bump to Fedora 38.  Pro: less work with no risk of updating wine version.  Con: more maintenance needed 6 months from now.
   2. Base the Dockerfile on Ubuntu LTS and install Ubuntu packages instead of Fedora packages with the assumption that Ubuntu will not bump wine between LTS bumps.  Pro: Dockerfile might need no changes for 2 years.  Con: Ubuntu might bump wine anyway as part of LTS security patches.
   
   Choice 1 seems lower risk but requires manual testing every 6 months.  Choice 2 seems lower maintenance after initial changes, but assumption of no wine bumps for 2 years may become false due to periodic rollup of LTS security patches into image.  I still suggest choice 2 is worth trying anyway.
   
   Please vote for your choice.
