Why so friggin' long?

It's so ridiculous the saga just goes on an on. What is it that Lindsey and Stevie are trying to figure out?
Remaster the album, repackage it with bonus tracks (at least the single mixes) liner notes/essays and a few rare photos. I recognize that this is not so simple, but why does it have to be so complicated?
Yes, like many others, I still buy and collect CDs and well as Vinyl. They have an existence and a soul that digital media can't ever replicate. There's the tactile and visual element that makes you feel more connected to the artist and the music. Digital media is convenient but so easily disposable.
If Stevie's new album was released just in digital form, it wouldn't have significant impact. Fleetwood Mac's digital EP, and Lindsey's digital live album are easily overlooked and forgotten. I burned both of them on CDs, but without artwork, photos or information, they just seem insignificant and faceless.
