For me personally, the format is irrelevant. I'm not here to see the OT released on DVD specifically, I'm here because I want the OT to remain available ALWAYS. regardless of what the future brings. All I want from Lucas is his acknowledgement that, while he has the right as an artist to change his work, he also has a duty to preserve an important piece of Cinema history as it was embraced by the population at large. It is the OT that changed the movie landscape irrevocably, not the SEs. Regardless of whether Lucas considers them workprints, they were released to the public and absorbed in that form for 20 years. It would be like if Davinci invented a time machine and suddenly appeared in the Louvre tomorrow, demanding to be given the Mona Lisa so he could rework the painting, perhaps add teeth to the smile that, while beloved by the world, was not how he truly envisioned it. Who wins in that scenario? Does Davinci get his painting back and the world loses the Mona Lisa, or is Davinci denied access to his work due to its historical significance?

Lucas is in a unique position that he can rework his films and still preserve their original presentation. Such being the case, there shouldn't be any question as to the manner in which he should conduct himself. There's also the issue of owner ship. George created the OT, and says he therefore has the right to change them. However, George "Sold" the OT to us, the movie going public, for 20 years before deciding to go back and change things. We paid for the OT, our money, fandom and loyalty are what enabled Lucas to go back 20 years later and rework the films. As such, he can not claim complete and total ownership over the OT, not on moral grounds anyways. Morally, he created something, and sold it to the world, and the world in turn paid him a hefty sum for it. Now, with that money, George is taking the OT away from the world, changing it, and giving it back, and asking for more money for it on top of everything. That's just not right.
