That's the way I see it, and why its being described as a "soft launch". Sky have never written a proper red button app for VM's platform so they're using it sporadically initially to see what works and what doesn't. Once they have any maor kinks ironed out it'll probably be used more frequently. I would imagine a similar thing will happen when they start to write the TiVo version of the app. Same with the BBC red button functionality - I think it will build up in small chunks, probably with alternate video streams being a priority as they seem to be what people are complaining about the most.
EDIT: And I see spiderplant has said pretty much the same a couple of posts up.
