I fully get where you're coming from, but personally I don't see/view these threads/posts as 'demands made of the developers', but rather as users discussing among themselves what part(s) of MAME they like the best (and therefore hope will get better with time). And as an additional bonus, the developers show up from time to time to clarify to users what the current state of the art is on certain aspects of the emulation, and where the issues/problems for improvements lie (and what the past/present effort and hard work has been and still is).
