I was going off the following quote from Lucas, with respect to the upcoming Blu Ray release:

“Releasing the originals is kind of an oxymoron because the quality of the original is not very good. You have to go through and do a whole restoration on it, and you have to do that digitally. It’s a very, very expensive process to do it. So when we did the transfer to digital, we only transferred really the upgraded version.”

My assumption is that, since work on the new set has already commenced, and George claims not to have made a digital transfer of the original, the above-mentioned quote therefore basically amounts to an admission that the OUT will not be on the upcoming release. That's how other news sites seem to be taking it, too.

Lucas said that the original trilogy films included on the Blu-Ray release will be the remastered special editions.

Movieonline.com said:

Only the 1997 special editions of the original trilogy — the one’s that added such unnecessary things as Greedo shooting first — will get the Blu-ray transfer.

Et cetera and so forth.
