I don't disagree with you on preservation. Are you saying I shouldn't give any of my support/money for these remasters then? It looks like preservation of the discs may have already happened- MG mentioned in the news forum that:

All I or any of the rest of the team know is that a very senior team member suffering from terminal Real-Life Syndrome (that is: got a house and family, generally won the arcade game we call "life", but unlikely to have time for MAME in the future) dumped several hundred gigs of LD captures in various forms onto the server the team keeps deep within its volcano lair. As far as I know, it's pretty much up to devs potentially interested in various LD games to pick over the uploads and assess whether or not there's anything useful there.
