Part of Proton only. Proton is a mix of various projects. Esync, Fsync, Wine, DXVK, and more...

Yes Julliard is very famous and key to the project

I assume Esync and Fsync will not live much longer, now that NTSync is supported by the both Wine 11 and the kernel 6.14.

They didn't magically get bundled together. Proton still has a substantial amount of engineering behind it.

I think the point was that there is way more people involved in Proton that the people/work coming from Wine, not to trivialise the amount of work integrating a bunch of projects take.

Yes. Wine for one never had a high performance DX11 rendererer and DXVK was a revolution for gaming.
