I was reading an article not too long ago, maybe in the NY Times, that stated that some of the big studios were moving away from the 'extra packed' DVDs because they're getting quite costly to produce and but for the 'deleted scenes' and maybe the hardcore enthusiasts, most people don't spend the time going through all of the extraneous filler.

I would say that on the big films, I don't see a slow down, but it was interesting, nevertheless.

PS: I got my first taste of DVD in December of '97 when I bought my Gateway Destination entertainment computer/surround system and I've seen it progress from the niche, through the DIVX wars and like you write, into the mainstream and I love them. I never did get into prerecorded LDs or VHS films and I'm glad.
