If the remaining software decoding issues can be fixed next year, just in time to begin rescuing and preserving various laser discs. iirc some guesses regarding the laser discs lasting about 40 years at best before no longer being readable....unfortunately just about there.

2020...it is when MAME supports new improved laser disc capture method. / *kidding*, but I am guessing it will be a while when this happens. Seeing Mad Dog Mcree or any of the other ALG brand games being preserved (also in MAME if that is possible) is what I hope to see happen.
