The record company has to think there is a market for re-releases from the band. Maybe they do and Jon, who apparently doesn't want nostalgia, can not agree to it, so that's perhaps the stumbling block. Maybe if they had left Universal a few years back and went elsewhere, the record company could release what they wanted?
I see 20th/30th/40th re-relerases on CD, vinyl, download all the time and have to scratch my head as to why SWW hasn't been done. That or another boxset is all I think they'd release and think would sell.
Jumping back on to the OP's track lists, am I the only one who wouldn't want any radio edits? If it's a different noticable mix, sure, but the UK mix of Say It Isn't So should not see the light of day ever again.
