In the Q&A session on Discord last year, Alan Boyd and Mark Linett talked about the future archival releases

I’m gonna ask my question real quick since I have to go in a bit: How do you both see future album rarities getting released, especially for less well received albums? For instance, will we have to wait until 2035 to hear Beach Boys 85 outtakes, or until 2062 for That’s Why God Made The Radio outtakes?
Mark
as far as the much later albums, its not likely we'd get much into those anytime soon since the 50 year stuff is a priority, but you never know when an overall project might make something feasible sooner
Alan
As for future releases.... it's hard to say what Capitol will decide to do. The good thing about the new copyright extension legislation from the UK and Europe is that it kinda forces the label and the group to be proactive about releasing previously unreleased outtakes in order to keep the recordings from falling into the public domain over there.
I would loooooove to do a "Brian's Back" set covering 1976-1977. 15 Big Ones through the MIU Sessions
My guess is that the higher priority for now is going to be SUNFLOWER thru HOLLAND, partly because of the impending copyright issues on the unreleased tracks. LOVE YOU and ADULT CHILD are probably a bit further down the road.

Oh one more question from me; might we one day see an official release of the original single LP of the In Concert album?
Mark
I think a In Concert box is a possibility at some point. We have lots of unreleased shows from that project
So I'd say, apart from Sunflower/Surf's Up box set, "Brian's Back" set covering 15BO to MIU and In Concert box set could happen in the future.
CATP and Holland would be more tricky, but considering they have convinced the record company to put out archival stuff from Party! and Wild Honey sessions on CD, the same might happen with these albums, too.
I don't see potential box set releases with LA, KTSA and BB85, honestly. Heck, they would probably have a hard time convincing them to put these stuff even on digital, and I'd be disappointed if that was the case as I believe there are some interesting stuff even with these albums.
