I like to consider Harmy's work a preservation.  Because although in many cases he is rebuilding elements rather than cleaning original ones, to me the end result looks more like what I saw in the theater in 1977 than any other project.  I know most people saw a grainy, dirty, overplayed film, or a fuzzy VHS tape on a small screen, but what appeared in May and June of 1977 was clean, sharp, and ultra hi def.  Harmy's version does the best job of preserving that original 1977 opening day viewing experience.
