> What I'm saying is that I don't understand why you care that it hasn't been pulled out of MAME

I don't want to pull out from MAME but I only want explicit (not silent) declaration from Aaron as official.
Perhaps you can't understand, one reason is my poor English so that I will be unable to tell what I communicate. So I don't want you to recognize my will. But only keep a fool in your mind.

> It's just a guideline. Before there was the 3 year rule, there was the 2 year rule, and before that, there wasn't a year rule

Sorry, I can't find any message in the guidline. And what is problem in this case if you say 'not year rule'?

> none of them are or were perfect and self-imposed rules aren't something for users to try and police.

So you say, 'MAME doesn't have rule and morality'? So it's OK to be selfish actually? ...I confused.

> I aim to get games for dumping that are at least 7 years old but it doesn't always work out that way and if I get a game some time that is only 3 or 4 years old I expect not to get bitched out for it by MAME users.

It's your self-policy but some dumper/ripper try to dump/rip and even attemp to send 'working' driver to official (and already some clone MAME have done).
I know some user says 'when does (official) MAME add fz2dx?' and it works now on MAME though it is a bootleg.
As it is now like so, I doubt MAME's rule and thinking.
