That is exactly what subsystem developers have the option to do if we do
as I have described earlier.

Or all win32 will be moved to native part?

Only lowest-level Win32 components. The rest can be shared with WINE.

If done as described, then lowest level Win32 components will be tied
closer to the ReactOS kernel than to the Win32 subsystem.
