After the 2006 OOT release, their previous sales model was effectively destroyed--and I think they may have at least considered that suppressing the OOT forever was not a realistic option. I think that Lucas honestly believed that no one would ever want to bother with the OOT after the SE came out. But since all the backlash I think LFL realised that not only is there a market for the original, but that it represents a treasured classic that is in some ways bigger than them, ie all the bootlegs and fan-rips. Thats why I am 100% certain that it'll be released again, sometime, in higher quality--the sales model of 1995 is undone, and that means it has been reversed. But because of the percieved-rarity of the OOT they aren't outright admitting this--and I think this is wise, because with LFL things are never certain so they don't want to make any promises--so instead of saying "now its REALLY the last time" they are instead saying "this is a limited release."
