I fear that wait will be a long one, as the latest releases from HBO and others are airing on "Sky Atlantic" first

It must be a real gem for Sky subscribers to get the latest content exclusively on a Sky only channel,

if for instance you have been following a series say "Nurse Jackie" you are now into it, but the next series (3) can only be seen on Atlantic

It is a big selling point for Sky at the moment to have this exclusivity, so I can't see them giving that up unless the price is right

And VM won't pay a premium price just to give it away to existing customers and nor should they,

I take your point about the slippery slope, but fear we are all ready on that with the existing extra channels as per the link in my original post.
