In all likelihood, the very reason U2 split ATYCLB for the Best Of is due to estimation of output for the following decade. Three albums after ATYCLB would have been the only realistic estimate, which perfectly justifies an even split of the singles between the two decades.
Achtung + Zooropa + Pop + miss sarajevo + half of ATYCLB = HTDAAB + U2 with brian and danny + U2 with rubin + Windows + half of ATYCLB.
Now, naysayers will likely point out that U2 with brian and danny isn't really U2. This is reasonable, but calling this "Passengers 2" really isn't accurate given the nature of the project (it will not be nearly as "difficult-sounding" and will therefore spawn more than 1 Best-Of type song).
