I think it is updated more for the other features tacked on to the patch which are apparently still important to largely the MAME cabinet users such as 'no nag' (taking out warning messages of games which do not work or work with conditions), border less windows, loss of popup messages which give the illusion for the cabinet gamer that they may not be using an emulator. Such modifications detract from important messages and information that the user should know and largely go against Developer wishes or the ability to determine if bugs are expected or not.
