These were not exclusive features. The *four* RQ3 Trollpak releases (Trollpak, Troll Gods, Haunted Ruins, Troll Realms) that were such a significant feature of the "middle period" were accompanied by much new material (in "Gods of Glorantha", "Genertela", "Elder Secrets").
And the "later stuff" included just *two* reworked RQ2 supplements, "River of Cradles" and "Lords of Terror", both of which included lots of new material, and alongside them the likes of "Sun County", "Dorastor", "Strangers in Prax"... a RQ2 grognard who missed all of these supplements would *really* be missing out.
I thought the single worst sin of Avalon Hill was taking so long to begin printing good Gloranthan material -- even a reprint like "River of Cradles" would have nice, if it had come out ten years earlier than it eventually did. When AH bought RQ, Glorantha was almost a mainstream gaming setting (in the UK, at least); by the time they started printing anything Gloranthan, it was obscure once more. Bummer.

Which has a thick Sartarite accent...
