I'm sorry to say I don't believe that the big labels will change their mode of operation. There are very few factories capable of pressing big numbers and none of them have a reputation worth a light dating back many years.
There are a few good pressing plants but the majors don't use them. It's just a massive opportunity missed because they've licensed these albums to independents like Music Matters or Analogue Productions, Mofi etc in the past for limited release and those records are selling for multiples of their original price.

Not old news to me, as I don't follow it. I do think the increase in demand is a good thing, and there's every chance that those difficulties will be overcome sometime.
