My only question is whether or not the unaltered cuts will surface. Anything else is neither here nor there for me.
The “4-discs per film for the UHD, 3-discs for the blu-ray” rumor is the only shred of hope regarding an official unaltered remaster, which doesn’t even guarantee that the unaltered version would be an actual UHD disc in the UHD edition. It might turn out that the 4-disc UHD is simply the same regular blu-rays from the 3-disc edition plus the most recent version on UHD as the 4th disc.
