Sony started remastering these a few years ago, when they released the first season on DVD some complained because the DVD advertised "remastered in HDTV" even though the DVD's were not HD. NBC even did a HD Seinfeld special at the time of release. The show clips looked great in 4x3 and the interviews etc were all 16x9 HD.
Remastering shows in HD is the current rage now, most of the content owners see it as a way to future proof their library. They can remaster in HD and use it as a master for all their other distribution methods, like SD cable, VHS and DVD.
