Not necessarily. They could put stuff like
Get Like You Used To Be and
I'd Rather Go Blind on there, as well as some interesting versions of Peter Green songs (especially
The Green Manalishi).
But, really, I have no real issue with duplication. Songs like
Believe Me have live versions that warrent inclusion. The live version with Weston (from Midnight Special) had the greatest ending ever, and the 1974 Record Plant version is pure Power Pop at its finest.
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love from 1972 with Danny is killer. And, Bob's musings on
Future Games and/or
Bermuda Triangle would be worth it, too. The studio albums are great, but they don't really capture the personality of this era, which is why the live recordings are so essential.

Well, there's the Seattle '72 set that was on radio. I'm sure there's a master of that somewhere. (If not, they could always use Pro Tools to work audio magic.)
I'd also be curious if there are any rehearsal tapes out there, similar to the Madison Blues stuff from this era.
And for crying out loud, we need the Fleetwood Mac version of
Good Things.
