If both major DE groups don't care about the DVD contents because they
feel their respective Spins are their main concern, then it's not
entirely hyperbolic to just not ship the DVD at all.  I think we're
already heading down this path with the 3 product approach, so it's
not something to be cast aside as unrealistic.
