Six songs that have NEVER been released in ANY format... Literally, it says that they will also not be released by any other artist, otherwise they would have included BY THE ROLLING STONES.
So, I do read THE VAULT take 1. I mean, we're asking for THE VAULT for years and years here, so wouldn't it be a good choice to release six unknown outtakes/not released material?
Regular Stones-lovers, who go see a show every few years, all have bought 40 Licks/ 4 Flicks. So, as being regular lovers, they will most probably not buy another dvd in exactly the same format: documentary, some shows, some interviews. So in order to make sure it is interesting enough, it has to be different. Either to attract all fans who are NOT collectors of every single unique release, AND to appeal to a more massive public, by being different from 4 Flicks.
So, in my opinion, it is a great choice to exclude some songs from the shows and cut them to 90 minutes: it leaves you with the essence of the show, and distuinguishes the various types of setlists that have existed throughout the tour. (Don't be cynical now, you know it's true). For example: the As Tears Go By/She's So Cold/SWAY/Streets of Love/PIB-setlist with Keith on TPIE/SA or BTMMR, OR, the Let's spend the Night Together/She Was Hot/Connection/YGTS/GOOMC-setlist from the US, forgive me a mistake here and there.
And then again, maybe, a special release of 6 songs that have never been released in any format by any artist, the RS included, equally meaning: THE VAULT. I hope so.
