Their idea is that v1 is when all machines they support are perfectly emulated.

So… it’s asymptoticly approaching v1 you could say.

Of course they keep adding more machines… so…

Yep. In fact, the first releases of MAME had 0.01 increments. Not sure when they went to finer steps, but it is pretty much a given that they'll do it again when the current revision gets too close to 1.

Version numbers don't work like that :)

MAME just has a permanent "0" major version, and the minor version continues to be bumped up forever. It's not a decimal number, so "close to 1" doesn't really make any sense.

Ehhhh… while there’s no particular decimal cut off, “closer to 1” is always going to be a higher minor version.

It’s not incorrect as such
