I also would like to see a release of McCarthy's scores for the first two TNG seasons, but in my opinion he started to get boring with the beginning of season three. I assume after season two it was the first time Berman talked to the composer's about the stlye he wanted or something, I don't know. Season three is weird there because while McCarthy suddenly became more orchestral (and bland) instead of synthy (and melodic), Ron Jones was doing the exact opposite in some of his scores. I think "Picard's Theme" last showed up in "Yesterday's Enterprise" (it's also on the CD) and after that pretty much all theme music was gone when it comes to McCarthy's scores (with the exception of Courage's fanfare, thanksfully).
Since it wasn't mentioned in this thread before I would like to add that the opening music of the first episode of season two "Birth" is available as a bonus track on McCarthy's Sliders OST. It's a great piece of music and also includes Picards theme.
When it comes to releasing the complete music for TNG, I'm all for releasing all of Ron Jones stuff, but I don't see much sense in releasing every piece of music McCarthy composed. As I said, season one and two would be a really great release, but after that it's pretty bland with a few exceptions here and there of course. The same thing counts for most of the stuff Jay Chattaway was doing in the later seasons. But I wouldn't really mind some "best of"-collections (or even box-sets) put of with help of the fans or something, similar to what Lalaland did with his Galactica/Farscape-scores. But other than the already mentioned season one and two of TNG I'm actually more interested in getting more music releases for some of the later DS9/Voyager/ENT-era, since the composers had more freedom there (again) and came up with more interesting and sometimes really epic music.

I am also very much hoping for some more Dennis McCarthy releases. While many people seem to think that only the first two seasons of McCarthy's scores were good, I disagree. I found season 3 to be one of his best, especially episodes like 'The Ensigns of Command', 'The Survivors', 'The Hunted', 'Yesterday's Enterprise' and 'Hollow Pursuit' had some fantastic music. The ship attacks in 'The Survivors' and Danar's Capture/Escape in 'The Hunted' in my opinion is some of the best unreleased music from TNG. Even Season 4 and 5 had some great music (Galaxy's Child, The Wounded, Time's Arrow, Unification come to my mind). I do agree that the music for season 6 and 7 was fairly dull, one huge exception being 'All Good Things...'. I also think that not all of McCarthy's music has to be released, but there is still a lot that should be released.

I hope Roger reconsiders. There are still plenty of people who'd go for more TNG, especially a smaller release which Intrada would probably do (I can't seem them doing a boxset).
I`m in for more Star Trek TV releases. There is so much ground to cover (TNG,DS9,VOY and ENT). Maybe in the same style as the Amazing Stories releases. That would be awesome.
I`m so pleased with FSM BOX SET 05. It sits proudly in my shelf.
