Logic? That's been a rare commodity indeed for this band for quite a while, imo. But I agree w/ you that would be the logical thing to do (which makes it unlikely). I agree we'll likely only get 1 Yes 5.1 released this year, unfortunately. I just wish they'd announce it already, even if we have to wait til Fall to get it. I just wanna know so if it is Tales, I can start that long period of anticipation.
As for the others you mention, I was never a fan of XTC and while I enjoy KC, I've never connected to their music on anywhere near the same level as I do to Yes.
Well your username is Prog Rules, and yes it does, but the remix I'm most looking forward to this year by far is "Roxy Music". I'm very excited about the Steve Hackett remixes too, but I don't know yet if the big "Premonitions" box is the only way to get them, which would be unfortunate if that was the case.
Truth is, with the exception of "Tales" and "Going for the One" (along with a better mix of "Fragile") we pretty much have the best Prog albums in surround already, so my focus is slowly turning towards other catalogues in anticipation, especially anything from Roxy Music and XTC, plus "Seeds of Love" from Tears for Fears would be sweet!
The reason they are not announcing the next remix yet is because things can change, and they probably will. From what I know, "Tales" was supposed to have been next in line for release after "The Yes Album", but they went with "Relayer" instead to mark the 40th anniversary.
Frankly I would hate for them to announce "Tales" for release in the fall right now, only for them to change and put out "Fragile" instead.
