I'd be more likely to give up and move on if the original 1977 version wasn't currently sitting in every store in the country. So, it's hardly being repressed, it's readily available, it just looks like total shit. That just proved there was nothing involving artisitc integrity keeping the original versions from being released. If the demand is still there (i.e. us pissing and moaning) it'll happen. Now with 5 different hidef versions of Blade Runner and 3 of Close Encounters coming out, the whole thing seems dumber than ever.
