Permeating the consciousness of your average joe as the two versions coming together as standard is good.
It's not like it will guarantee a proper restoration down the line, but it looks like another step up the ladder. He keeps claming the releases are "a limited time only" but we now see it isn't the case. I see it as Lucas starting to loosen his grip on sticking to "The SEs are the only versions!"
I'll tell you one thing, if the OOT was to get properly restored, it would be well within Lucas' ego-preservation to make it low-key. And he'd change his story to cover the period where he considered them "gone."
As I said: if.
