I agree 100% with this. It is an english language film, and in its original form it couldn't be properly watched without the subtitles which were therefore within the frame as part of the presentation.
You shouldn't do things with your edit (e.g. avoid burnt-in subs) because someone might use it for something else. Maintain the scenes on your hard drive without subs so that if someone wants to do a foreign language version of this they can get in touch with you.
Perhaps you could just put the scene without subtitles somewhere on the disc as an additional title, for the benefit of future editors.

Again, you shouldn't make concessions on your project (especially ones that eat up bytes) when it shouldn't be too hard for someone to contact you privately.
