Is there a way (or rules) to prevent non-TLG parts from creeping into the
official LDraw updates? That seems like the only practical/logical
danger...any other objections (like mine) would be personal/subjective.
I don't use LDraw/LEdit enough for my opinion to really count here, but I
know that it would really bother me* to see .DAT files referencing non-TLG
parts posted to the lugnet.cat.dat newsgroup. People can still do what they
want of course, since the charter for lugnet.cad.dat places no restrictions
on the content of the .DAT files posted to it, but I would hope that people
still have enough respect for LEGO to keep non-TLG parts well-separated,
somehow.

and I believe that imitation brands such as MegaBloks are just as much
responsible for the decline of LEGO quality as well as price in recent
years.
