In the JJ era those connections to TOS are more valuable than ever. You could easily make the case that animated Kirk and Spock are more recognizable to millennials than TNG, DS9, Voyager or Enterprise characters.
Furthermore, some of the same sources that reported the other Blu-ray releases have similarly hinted that a Blu-ray release for the animated series is in the works too. I personally have practically no doubt that we'll see a release.
Even if they do don't wanna show their hand or commit to anything I think it's safe to say that Paramount will eventually get to DS9, Voyager, TAS and upgrades of the first 10 films on Blu.

I just watched Yesteryear the other day and there's a scene pretty much lifted from there for the 2009 reboot where Spock is getting picked on by other Vulcans.
Season 2 TOS already has one episode on HD (the tribble sequel) and the only thing it does is expose how poor the animation was.
