If Lucas doesn't restore it himself in the next eight or nine years, someone will after he dies. Even if his will says "don't release the OOT," mark my words the second the dust settles from his grave there will be a squad of fans, professionals and corporate executives trying to find a way around it, and eventually they will succeed. It's essentially a waiting game, one way or another.
It's a little sad that Lucas, for whom his fans would have once sprinkled rosebuds in his path (and I'll count myself in that) has given them a reason to actually anticipate his eventual death.
