I just prefer to preserve every version of the movie. It’s why I believe Blade Runner, Apocalypse Now, Star Trek: TMP/TWOK, and Superman II are the gold standard in releases that respect the versions that got initial acclaim or derision and the directors’ intended versions (which could be better, worse, or just have different issues than the original release).

The original cuts of the movie should be preserved alongside the 1997, 2004/2011, and 3D cuts. Heck, The Lost Cut should have a preservation of some kind.
