This is not something personal.

I know about cases when I saw in games draw agreed for movei when no draw was
agreed and simply arena decided that it is a draw because the game was more than
90 moves.

It was fixed later but the idea to allow to adjudicate games as a draw after
more than x moves does not make sense and practically it cause demage because
people may not know before the game about it.

I think that it may be better if people download a version that does not allow
illogical options(I believe that most users do not want adjudication by arena
only based on the number of moves and it is possible to have a special version
for the minority who are interested in illogical options).
