You can't expect people that are new to the saga to watch them in the 4,5,6,1,2,3 order. When you see a set of movies that are numbered in order then you will watch them in numerical order. The only other way around it would be to renumber the OT 1,2 & 3 and have the prequels numbered after them, but the episode numbers have become so synonymous with each film as they stand now, i doubt changing the episode numbers would sit comfortably with people.
As long as you're making major changes, there's no reason you couldn't change the crawls to renumber them however you want.
Personally, I don't think the prequels are salvagable in any form, as prequels or episodes 1-3. Although of course I'll enjoy giving your revisited saga a chance, like I said in an earlier thread, at this point my preference is just to watch the latest official versions of the prequels. They are train wrecks, but at least they suck.
