We actually agree, you miss my point. Some parental control could/should be in a front-end. I don't care for it actually, I am just saying this for all people that want "separations". Instead of separating things (that are not actually separated), FILTER things. I would love for MAME to be transposed to... MAME (only this time actually also be MESS in there) and if people want what we call "coin-ops" in some places, to FILTER those through the front-end (or the embedded front-end or even command line).
With today CPUs and RAM (even for... mobile devices), the whole separation which is based on a technicality is moot. In the end, keep providing the unmerged builds if someone so wants. It's like building a specific build with only a subset of engines compiled in it.
In any case everything points to merge eventually.
