Yeah right, an "army of testers" 
You are totally right. Where we are now is not the "final truth". There will come a dedicated format called C8M with similar characteristics like the .SID format. This means that all the Winter Events tunes will be nicely jampacked into one file and you can just flick among them.
As for the SID: it is not meant to be a full fledged SID player, just a nice "bonus"  So that in case someone gets bored of the square waves (  ), (s)he can switch to the SID easily. Actually the tunes will still be played within the plus/4 virtual machine so not all tunes are guaranteed to work. Those who use the CIA for timing or screw up some TED registers will not work
SID support is however - considering the plenty of "native" SID muzaks - necessary at some point anyway so I thought why not add .SID as a bonus feature while we're at it. I'm actually listening to 4U2 from Reyn Ouwehand while typing this... 8-)
