official successor to DVD, maybe, but the DVD Forum shouldn't be the only group to determine what the "official" next generation disc format should be. That would be a monopolistic advantage for the DVD Forum, allowing them to create whatever crap they want.
Competition is good, it forces companies to create better products to compete for your dollar. No person or group should be the one deciding things for you. They can create a new or "successor" product, but if someone else comes along and makes something better, at least you have a choice to decide.
