I’m not what you mean by future release. The article got it right. Wine is upstream from Proton. Proton builds on top of Wine and adds stuff that Wine doesn’t have.
Not exactly. Proton is a Wine fork which Valve have stated they intend to merge back into Wine in the future (since they’re working on it with CodeWeavers). If you look at the code in GitHub, they’ve made a lot of changes to Wine and they’re not fully tracking Wine main (looks like they’re porting instead).
I know it’s a fork building on top of Wine, but I didn’t find mention of them wanting to merge the project back into vanilla Wine. Just talk about them rebasing to Wine 11 eventually.
Pretty sure it’s the other around now - Proton is a future release of Wine and at some point Proton will merge back into Wine.

It was in some video interview with the project leads after the Steam hardware announcement.
