They did release things from the 90s every now and then, no?

Very pleased to be getting Phantom of the Rue Morgue, the first WB owned 50s 3D release since Kiss Me Kate in March of 2015. With the Popeye, the Ace of Space 3D short, too. There's strong rumors that The Bounty Hunter is also coming; if true, ideally they'll have Lumber Jack-Rabbit as a bonus feature in the same way.

Some info from the latest The Extras podcast:
"MR. SKEFFINGTON: Like other recent Warner movies, George remembers restoring the twenty minutes cut after the opening for VHS, which comes from a second generation Fine Grain Master Positive. Speaking of that premiere, DUCK SOUP TO NUTS is included because it opened with the film. George also notes trying to use the best artwork available, in this case a Belgian poster. More interestingly is what George ends this discussion with:

So the more the people support the Warner Archive activities, the more we can expand the list.
George talks about licensing and later titles. He oversees what gets licensed to partners, who tend to focus on more recent titles. George makes sure that these titles get licensed out so they get the supplementary content they deserve that Warner Archive can't do with every title. Warner Archive is a boutique label that just happens to be apart of a huge studio, but feels they are able to serve the consumer the best they can. George mentions more from later is still coming, even though its not their primary focus"
