I must say, I've always been tempted in include some MESS stuff in my build, expecially consoles that don't require software lists, though this never happened for some reasons:
1) My user base didn't care at all about that stuff, they only wanted an "easy-to-use-and-configurable" frontend to play their favourites arcade games.
2) Supporting MESS stuff in a serious way would have broken for the most part my GUI and sincerely I was not in the mood to rewrite it completely, also because of point #1
I never understood why this was considered a threat to official MAME, since the option to compile an ARCADE build is available. Some sites dedicated to emulation offer to download a command-line version of MAME with only arcades enabled. So what was the problem with my build? The two or three stupid hacks it contains that I *never* submitted to main source tree?
I'm not a professional paid programmer, I studied COBOL and TURBO PASCAL at high school, so learning C language has been quite simple. I didn't graduated like it was in my wishes because I hadn't enough money to continue my studies. My father went away with another woman that I was 12 and so after the high school find a job to help my mother was the priority. I'm not so talented like you and other Devs in understanding how an hardware works and never pretended to be.
