Haha. They probably aren't doing anything big because they don't want to take attention from that shitty Sing 2 song, miniscule as it is. Maybe they don't want to draw too much attention to their greatest period because it makes their recent work look bad. Maybe they don't want to draw attention to their "ironic phase" because it clashes with the Earnest U2 brand they've been pushing and that Sing 2 seems to reinforce. But they probably just don't care that much and are being given bad advice on how to handle their catalog. Their reissue game was excellent until McGuinness retired.
YSSML is the kind of treacly shit Zoo TV U2 - 20th century U2, actually - would have scoffed at.
