Why no more Mercs? Is the end near?

Asked a question in another thread but posted in wrong place! Essentially, I would like any information as to why Classic stopped issuing Mercury Living Presence. In my opinion it was worth pursuing much more than the current re-fi MOFI stage that they seem to be entering. Since DCC is gone (See current Music Direct catalog) and the future ressurection (?) of MoFi taking so long, and, the flourishing of on-line auction houses expanding,is there a future in issuing high-end vinyl? Note: I started this thread because I'm interested in hearing from my fellow consumer music/audio lovers. If you're involved with these companies, please restain yourself. Hope that dialog is informative and fun. Hope to hear.
