Here's my two cents on the whole thing:

Why not simply substitute for newer parts. Great thing about LEGO is that
it's entirely modular. (sarcastic remark, I apologize in advance.) Put
another way.... if need be they could easily redesign a set to meet current
parts restrictions.
> 2) print instructions and boxes
At least the artwork and design is already done. But then again with
computers today, I suspect this takes even less time than it ever did.
> 3) sort the parts into poly-bags and the poly-bags into sets
I'm pretty sure they can do this.
> 4) advertise them
Not so sure that they do this now.
> 5) distribute them (S@H, Lego Direct, whatever)
Not so sure that they do this to the best of their ability.

I think it's worth at least a test.
