Since some 1934-5 Merrie Melodies released on the blu rays, may have a chance for Bosko and Buddy cartoons to release there too

There already is a Buddy cartoon, so I would say yes.
I had thought it'd be during an eight or ninth volume that the series might release such cartoons. Although, that was before Vol. 3 was announced to have Mr. and Mrs. Is the Name; since then, I'm not quite so sure. At any rate, seeing how it's called Collector's Choice, it'd probably include more laudable (remaining) cartoons with either character.
It's also worth pointing out that both Bosko and Buddy have had cartoons recently released in HD as movie bonuses, even if they're mostly ones previously restored for the last Golden Collection set. So there's another option if that's what interests you.
I'd say it's a good thing, like it or not, if the powers that be get more of those cartoons (and ones with Cool Cat and Merlin the Magic Mouse, for that matter) out on modern home video in some fashion. The logic being that they don't make up so much of the last classic-era WB cartoons to be released.
I'm not so sure about Bosko getting any love. Warner seems to be trying to bury him just as fast as Coyote VS Acme, but I'm still hoping that there will be some love thrown his way.
Dumb Patrol and The Booze Hangs High were both released as movie extras last year, the former having previously premiered on the RIDE service.
Huh.
If our universe is merciful, as my grandpa says, "No no NO!"
To clarify, the above sentiment is why I've felt such cartoons would show up on (potential) much later volumes, if at all (leaving aside other options). Many fans aren't thrilled with them, and I get why. But with the shrinking amount of golden age WB cartoons left to release on modern home video, especially the more revered ones from 1936-1964*, well...
*There are plenty of those left currently, so I wouldn't worry on that end. Bugs is almost finished, though.
