I'm okay with garbage mattes being removed. They are distracting and irritating and aren't supposed to be visible. I wouldn't call it strictly the original version of the movie to do that, though. That is more like what the special edition should have been. Matte lines and boxes taken out, maybe a couple other very minor fixes like compositing with proper spatial perspective so snowspeeders don't appear in front of the legs of the Imperial walker they're supposed to be flying behind, etc. Aside from being overly blue, the Battle of Hoth in the SE looks quite good, because that's all they did to it, no cgi inserts. And having a well made 5.1 mix to increase the soundstage and bass but still retain the essential flavour of the originals and not insert glaring new sounds or change the balance.
If that were all they had done, the SE would have been awesome.
But the original, completely untouched with all its sound mixes, should always be available also.
With a really good transfer, most of its flaws would scarcely be noticeable anyway.
