Yeah, because it's boring to update, not fun. So if I'm bored and have nothing else to do, then I'll do that.

Wow, you guys make it sound like it's a major undertaking to update...  It takes me about 15-20 minutes to update and most of that time is spent on the compile. 

1. Download new MAME source and hi-score diff.
2. Compile MAME
3. Connect to update torrent & download update set
4. Merge/update/Rebuild ROMs via CMP
5. Audit new set
6. Connect to full torrent to seed

15-20 minutes?   That list would be a weekend project to me.   I almost always encounter errors during the compile (usually always my dumb mistake, but still).   If you can all that without blinking an eye (and I'm sure many of you can), then yeah it's not a big deal.
