Should Pink Floyd's studio albums get freshly remastered (like the Beatles albums did last year) ?

As a Pink Floyd fan, I think that their studio albums should be given the same treatment as the Beatles albums all did last year. Brand new, super clear fresh digitally remastered sound.

Here's a list of Pink Floyd's main studio albums and (the date of the last CD release in parenthesis)

1. Piper At the Gates of Dawn (A 2- Disc 40th Anniversary edition. Disc One is the album in Mono, Disc 2 is the album in stereo- September 4, 2007)

2. A Saucerful Of Secrets (Last digitally remastered: 1992. )

3.Ummagumma (Last digitally remastered: 1994. )

4.Atom Heart Mother (Last digitally remastered: 1994. )

5. Meddle (Last digitally remastered: 1992. )

6. Dark Side of the Moon: (Last digitally remastered *on a regular CD* 1992. It was released on a Super Audio CD in 2003)

7. Wish You Were Here *my personal favorite album* (Last digitally remastered: 1992)

8. Animals (Last digitally remastered: 1992)

9. The Wall (Last digitally remastered: 1994)

10. The Final Cut (Last digitally remastered: 2004)

11. A Momentary Lapse of Reason (Last digitally remastered: 1994)

12. The Division Bell (still on its original digital master: 1994)

Summary: As you can see, the majority of Pink Floyd's albums have not had the sound remastered on them since either 1992 or 1994. (Thats sixteen- eighteen years ago!)

Should Pink Floyd's albums be released all freshly digitally remastered with the latest 2010 sound clarity technology (like the Beatles got in September last year) ?

I most certainly think so.

Update:

(It was just a suggestion) Everyone has their preferences.

(Personally) I'd like the albums to have "refreshed" sound. I mean, all their albums (Except for "Piper", and "The Final Cut") haven't been remastered since either 1992 or 1994, which was 16-18 years ago.
