A F.A.Q. has been posted on the GTL site: http://gametreelinux.com/faq

The last question is probably the one that will cause some heartburn around here.

Quote:
Q: Will there still be a Linux Desktop-focused beta team?


A: The release structure for developer-focused tools is very different from that for a consumer product. Cedega Engine Technology releases through the GameTree Developer Program will be much more like what the beta team has seen in the past, rather than the previous Cedega Gaming Service releases. We will ultimately have more formal channels for feedback as well, most likely using externally available feedback tools, and perhaps some forums. In a sense, the beta program will be extended to anyone who signs up through the GameTree Linux site for the GameTree Developer Program.


We'll still keep the cedega-beta mailing list running for a while, as we do want to keep hearing the private feedback of those of you who have stayed in the trenches with us for so long, but access to the Cedega technology will be through the free GameTree Developer Program moving forward.


Also, TransGaming's engineering team will not be focused on issues in consumer-oriented titles which have significant regular updates (ie: WoW, Steam, etc), unless a developer explicitly engages us to work with them to support their title.
Important part bolded.

Now, what I don't know is if "a developer explicitly engaging" means that Paragon Studios would need to approach Transgaming outside of the OSX contract, or if support would be included as part of the existing / ongoing OSX contract.
