.... Except I highly doubt an official OOT restoration would omit the original crawl. If anything, the '77 crawl would get priority. They can (and should) include the option of watching the movie with the '81 crawl via alternate blu-ray/dvd video angles. The region 1 prequel dvd's did exactly this to show the crawl in French and Spanish.

The same goes for matte lines, which they would not be cleaning up if we're talking a strict restoration here. That was a technological limitation of the time. It's not about making "the vast majority of fans" happy, it's about preserving the films as they were originally presented.
