The movie format has a number of issues that are preventing mass market adoption. It's not impossible to see a "Blu-ray 2" in the near future, and adding more layers would be a sane improvement, especially if it aids backwards compatibility (eg put the main feature in Profile 1.0 compatible form on layer 1, put the BD2 features on layers 2+, similar to the three-layer HD DVD Combo format.)

You could even have hybrid pressed/writable disks, with some layers fixed, and others being ready to contain data read from the Internet and cached on burnable layers.

There are lots of ways this technology could be used without breaking Blu-ray any more than it's already broken. Actually, there are many ways this technology could be used to fix Blu-ray. It just takes some imagination.
