The problem with it seems to me the general unwillingness of rental sources to make such films available. As I said earlier, the 16mm rental business is just "this" far from becoming the buggy-whip business. Especially at this squeezed time, I fear the distributors would be unwilling to shrink their already nearly moribund business further. I used to work in distribution and I can't imagine the distributor mentality acceding to this notion. Furthermore, 16mm prints can be used for tape duplication and this is another reason for them to fear such a development. Sadly, I think we may have to wait until the 16mm business is, in fact, extinct to implement such a proposition.
