It seems like many U2 fans here would like to see more deep cuts or obscure favorites, and I think that rotating the popular favorites would help this happen.
Looking at their current set lists, they are going with 22-24 songs a night. With 7 from the new album and arguably 8 of them being very popular favorites, that doesn't leave that many slots left for anything else.
Those 8 are:
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Pride
Streets
I Still Haven't Found...
With or Without You
One
Beautiful Day
Vertigo
Now, I will concede to leaving Streets (too much of a live monster to not play, EVER) and Beautiful Day (too popular and still relatively new in the grand scheme of their history, so it still deserves to be played at every show) in for every concert, but if you rotate from night to night:
Sunday Bloody Sunday/Pride
With or Without You/One
I Still Haven't Found/Vertigo
They can add 3 more songs to the set list, and would still be playing enough popular favorites to satisfy the casual fans.
And they have played most of the songs enough times to where they wouldn't get rusty from not playing them at every show. Most of those they can probably play in their sleep now.
Thoughts?
