Well, it is too late for it now, but many people would see it as distasteful to tamper so greatly with a classic. Imagine putting digital matte paintings in Citizen Kane to replace the classic-style mattes, or inserting new actors via bluescreen, or filming new scenes and cutting old ones. On the one hand you can ignore it, but on the other hand it's sheer existance could be seen as disrespecting the memory and integrity of the classic original. It's the principle. Some things are untouchable, regardless of who is doing it and what their intentions are. This may seem a bit of an extremist view--and it is--but it is also one that you have to account for. Even Lucas sees things this way to some degree, as he has expressed offense to the mere existance of colourized versions even when the original is released in the same package and in the same quality (i.e 3 Stooges shorts in 2004).
