SACD/DVD-A and 2-channel recordings

I had wondered if it would ever be the case that only multichannel recordings would come out leaving us 2 channelers in the dust. I was told by a dealer friend of mine that Sony professed to always include a remastered 2-channel SACD layer with every SACD whether it is multichannel or not.

I am wondering if anyone else has heard this and whether this is also the case for DVD-A?

Thanks,

I am fairly sure it is in the specs, (what are they calling it, scarletbook?) that all SACDs are required to have a 2 channel mix. The multichannel and hybrid are optional.

I don't know of any DVD-A that include 2 channel mixes, but then again, I dont own any.
