The one and only thing I can stand about any revisionism is technical goof clean-up. I don't want any editing out of stormtrooper head-hitting, or erasing of cardboard award ceremony audience. But crappy mattes and uncolored light saber blades are the kind of things I wouldn't mind Lucas tinkering with.
Why LFL did such a half-assed job on technical clean-up during all the revisionist work is simply beyond my comprehension.
But, nah, during the original run of Star Wars ... never noticed 'em.
BTW, not true of Empire Strikes Back ... Tie-Fighter square garbage mattes and generally craptacular matte lines (snowspeeders mostly) were very apparent in the theatrical run. And, yeah, horrible Rancor matte lines were quite visible during the theatrical run of Return of the Jedi.

My thoughts exactly. I couldn’t say it better so I won’t try.
