And if someone was selling a "PacMan cabinet" I would expect a PacMan cabinet, not some random cab that might be able to play PacMan.

Exactly, so saying you are selling a mame cabinet implies that you can only use mame on it.  When in fact you could do most anything with it, even put a real arcade game in the cabinet.
Mamedevs just don't want it to sound like it is a productjust for mame when it isn't..

We're on the same page here.  The only thing that seems a bit extreme to me is the "one time use" clause.  Mentioning it twice would be verboten?  Really?  Okayyyy then.....

Then it sounds like they should be aloud to remove "MAME Cabinet"  but not  "Arcade Cabinet for MAME".
