What is going to happen is the same thing that happened with Abel Gance's silent epic, Napoleon. Gance continued tinkering with the film into the 1960s, changing the score and reediting. By the 1980s, a restoration had to be mounted to find the original film, because Gance kept going back to the ONeg, striking new prints, and cutting as he saw fit.

We can hope that GL struck new prints after the color correction and pre-digital effects restoration work was done, but I'm somewhat cynical about that.
