Is it acceptable to enable the disclaimer/flag screens by default but have the option to disable them, so if a user purposefully disables them then it's obvious they should know what they are doing? From what I can see they basically don't want them disabled by default so a user won't send bug reports when the disclaimer screen told them to expect bugs. So figure that means having it as an obscure option for the knowledgeable who want to turn them off would be ok (I *think* at least), but not enabling it by default so no one gets confused about what is working and what isn't. Of course if this goes into copyright information about the original games then I see it is a bad feature to remove that, but from what I can tell it has to do with telling the user games might not be perfect.
