I'm for it. The pitfall Lost contends with is that often mysteries are far more interesting when they're unanswered. I think they're doing a good job keeping some level of mystery around even as they answer key questions, but that can be dissatisfying in its own way. Having an additional answer source outwith the show's run seems like a pretty ideal solution.
SOME of the mysteries are more interesting unsolved..a very small minority.Most of them are pretty damn interesting once you learn more about them.
All first season, when it was all about the hatch, I didn't think they could possibly open that door without disappointing me. I was way wrong, as I discovered in the first minute of season 2.

From ew, Lost fans are already sweating the prospect that Sunday’s series won’t resolve their favorite pet mystery or most burning question. For those left wanting, there is hope: EW has confirmed a TV Guide report that the producers plan to address a selection of baffling bits of unfinished business on the season 6 DVD, which goes on sale in August. An ABC insider says the set will include “new content that addresses some of the unanswered questions in an entertaining way,” though disputed reports that there could be as much as 20 minutes worth of mystery-resolution material.
While Lost die-hards probably needed no incentive to invest in the DVD, the promise of extra revelation will no doubt increase the chances that they will make the purchase the second it becomes available. What do you think of the move? On one hand, I can see fans feeling grateful that producers are looking out for their interests. On the other hand, I can see them irked that none of the DVD stuff was in the (free-to-watch) show. Getting past that: which mysteries should get addressed? Personally, I’d like to know more about the Dharma palette drop (season 2) and Jacob’s cabin (season 3 and 5).
