I agree that both of these titles are essential on a premium format- especially in the case of Barry Lyndon as the care taken in creation of it's visuals needs to be better mirrored in its home presentation.
The problem I believe, is that the the other Kubrick titles sold particularly poorly on HD in 07. It will be a while before the bean counters in charge will let them finish these. I don't think there's any hope to hang on the "well, since the question didn't mention Bd specifically, maybe they just replied about the DVD format". If these were even in the consideration stage for Bd, they had the perfect opportunity to acknowledged it and didn't. That's sadly telling.
