Sticky Fingers is one of my favorite Albums
but I would prefer a Let It Bleed Deluxe Set
because of "I Don't Know The Reason Why & Mick's You Got The Silver"

I'd have thought, after all these years, that Gazza would have given up on making sensible suggestions around here ;^)

Where does an Exile deluxe end and a Sticky Fingers one begin?
Half the songs on Exile were cut in 1969-70, ie for Let It bleed and Sticky Fingers.
Most of the songs on the Exile deluxe date from before Sticky Fingers was released. One is even a Satanic Majesties outtake, despite Mick's insistence that the 'starting point' he used was July 1969.
Even leaving aside the issue of latter day overdubs, they employed a very tenuous definition of what constitutes a 'leftover' track for both deluxe projects (even on 'Some Girls'- where there really was a definitive 'start' and 'end' date to the sessions and no overlap from previous albums - where two of the songs were recorded AFTER the original albums were RELEASED) to the extent where it renders a 'Sticky Fingers' deluxe project a bit redundant.
Wouldnt a 'Sticky Fingers' bonus album basically be full of songs which could/should have been on the Exile deluxe but didnt make it?
Here - courtesy of nzentgraf.de - is a sessionography for the final 'Sticky Fingers' session in October 1970.

Record Unit and London, Olympic Sound Studios. Producer: Jimmy Miller.

vibes; instrumental

Some of these songs ended up on Sticky Fingers. Some ended up on Exile, and some on the Exile deluxe. Three different albums. Others could potentially be used for a Sticky Fingers bonus CD - and one or two could be used for a Goats Head Soup bonus CD. So a two week session could potentially yield material released on five albums over four decades apart. Isnt it all getting a bit silly?
Surely a better option would just be to release a series of double CDs covering specific time frame (a la The Beatles Anthology, Dylan's Bootleg Series Vols 1-3) instead of rewriting history by pretending songs date from periods where they clearly do not, just to fill a bonus CD. It would also do away with the need to buy albums which - like Some Girls - we already bought in remastered form just two years ago.
For example
Vol. 1 1962-67 (Early demos through to Satanic Majesties)
Vol. 2 1968-74 (Beggars through to IORR)
Vol. 3 1974-85 (Black and Blue through to Dirty Work)
Vol. 4 1989 - to date
Four periods with a definitive starting and end point. Vol. 1 covers the era where Brian has more of a role in the band, although it could be extended to '68 or so. Vol. 2 deals more with the Jimmy Miller and Mick Taylor era. Vol. 3 covers the era where Woody joined the band and goes through the Pathe-Marconi/New York/Nassau years until Stu died and the band went into cold storage for a few years, and Vol. 4 deals with the modern era of the band.
