The O-OT will come to DVD 2 years after everyone migrates to HD-DVD (or whatever). Then everyone will have to start complaining that it isn't on next gen DVD and we'll be right back where we started.
Anyways, someone mentioned T2 and other movies where multiple versions have been released on DVD... The irony to me is that I think most people like Extended/Director's cuts and view them as superior versions of the films when they're given a choice. (not everyone of course, but most in my understanding) Take Lord of the Rings for example... You don't see a lot of websites devoted to watching the original Theatrical Versions. Both versions are out, people are given a choice, and I think a majority choose the Extended Editions. Maybe it has something to do with the EE being better... (instead of O-OT > SE-OT) But I digress...
