I believe the argument was that if DC didn't technically own the character and DC had not yet chosen to revive the character, then they are clutter. This was being made about characters like the Hunchback and the Kenneth Wyman (Earth-S)}Devil's Dagger. Of course, then DC did revive (or at least reference) the Hunchback, so it goes to show you never know.
