What part of "maintenance burden" don't you understand? More code paths is more to maintain and test for every change we make. There's a point where the value of keeping certain code functionality is outweighed by its maintenance burden.

If we were actually paid to develop/support MAME, then we'd be able to trade the revenue from supporting this stuff against maintenance burden and make a decision based on actual profitability. But we aren't - we have one dedicated guy volunteering his time to testing, and a bunch of us trying to fit MAME development in with our lives. Something's gotta give.
