You guys nitpick over every little detail...

I suspect you were half joking, but I would like to point out that I think upbeat vids will find fairly decent homes in the new category structure. Let me give a few examples from this year's Fun category:
"FULLMETAL's BACK" by Rider would likely continue to be considered "Fun".
"Safety Dance" by Shin would obviously be considered "Dance" (which is still the same category).
"Smile" by Sephiroth would probably compete quite nicely as "Sentimental".
Feel free to PM me some examples of "upbeat" AMVs that might have some difficulty fitting in. I'll see what I can do. However, let me state that it is impossible to have perfect categories for everything unless I made this a ten-plus category event, in which case it'd be a godawful mess. However, I do think we've moved away from trying to fit square pegs in round holes.
Dear god, the number of Director's Chairs I'd have to buy...

The AX 2010 and 2011 threads come close at 49 pages. All of the AX threads from years before that don't even come close.

And it's not as though it's a "product you refuse to deliver". It's a product that will be delivered after its run is complete. It's no different than Hollywood releasing a movie after its theatrical run is completed. If a studio released the DVD the same day (or before) it was in the theater, why go to the theater?

The visual content of your entry should be made up of at least 70% anime, manga, or Japanese video game content. The judges reserve the right to accept or reject entries based on whether, in their opinion, the entry fits the spirit of an Anime Music Video event.
I don't see the reason why the percentage needs to be tucked away in a note or fine print.
