Tobias Richter seems to be mass producing exactly the ships needed for a DS9 remastering, and I guess he's pretty close with Doug Drexler, who happens to be on the TNG-R team.
Before everyone gets too excited about the release schedule, I'd point out that there's no credible source for this information.
We've access to both of the press releases so far and neither of them contain this quote of 2 years. Was there another press release put out today? Why haven't any of the Trek/Blu-ray news sites reported on it?

Yes there was I believe today.

Edit: I see what Prologic is saying, this doesn't cite a new release, so the site could just be mis-reporting the release schedule

Taking this discussion all the way back to the starfield curtain behind the main viewer: I wonder what has been done with this shot:
The curtain is very noticeable in this shot and will be more noticeable in HD. It also seems there's a horizontal fold in the fabric.

It's a spacial anomaly.
For one person.
By all accounts, they've been working on it for rather a while now.
I suppose the pace depends how many people are working on the project. Given the samples we've seen so far, however, it doesn't appear that they're rushing things. So, either they have a lot more people working on this than has been so far indicated, or, the two year release schedule is a bit of a pipe dream.
I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but -- wow 108 pages .. anyway .. is EaF going to be released in the single full length form for this release or as a two parter?
There's a slight possibility (very slight) that this person picked it up from a post I made on Blu-ray.com on December 20th:
But I should add that I could be wrong and they might be using a real-time telecine, in which case the process would take around 382 days non-stop because it would only take about 22 minutes to scan each reel. Of course, it takes time to load each reel onto the telecine and put a new HDCAM-SR tape into the deck... plus technicians wouldn't be working there around the clock. Unless Paramount/CBS is paying for that, of course!The process of gathering the film reels and scanning them to 4K files is probably an ongoing process that will take years to complete. We're talking about 25,000 reels of film. The fastest 4K full aperture scanner can run at 15 frames per second. An average 2,000 foot reel of film has 31,680 frames. So that would take about 35.2 minutes per reel. Multiply that by 25,000 and it comes out to about 611 days non-stop just to scan the film. So, one year and nine months -- nearly 2 years! So, yeah... it's going to be longer than that.
Meanwhile, the editors cut the episodes back together without VFX, then they hand it over to the compositors and VFX artists. They're probably working on a few episodes at a time, at various stages of completion. At some point the scanning process will come to an end, probably when they have nearly half of the seasons out on Blu-ray... and they'll continue to complete the VFX for the seasons and episodes that are left.
Shit, DS9 would be worth getting if it only meant completely wiping the Yeager-class completely out of existence.
The irony being that ship only existed as a physical model, so would presumably be re-composited from scratch as with TNG. Only the CGI would need to be remade.
Horizontal folds in space are not new to star trek and have featured in episodes a few times (folding space). The real question here is how the crew or especially the sensors haven't noticed it?!?!!!!?!?
It can only mean one thing: Captain Braxton is coming! ;-)
