> Unless you want to have two sets of images sitting around, you'll have to completely commit to using only it.

Duplicate sets are not a good reason to complain a priori.

E.g., if you want to collect NES games in accurate dumps you need the split dumps which only MESS currently supports, in addition to iNES files supported by other emus. And if you want to play CD games in MESS, you need CHD images in addition to bin/cue supported by most emus. etc.
Sometimes duplication is not a big deal (except for HD space usage )

The real issue is, imho, that his GAME container does not give any valuable improvement over a zipfile combined with an xml file or a dat file, making it a bit redundant...
it might seems valuable to pack together the box scans with the game itself, but if you cannot easily access the scans and other images without launching the emu (e.g. if you cannot create a slideshow of the box scans), I feel like you have gained almost nothing over using a generic emu with a frontend to display boxarts
