With Disney, they'll either release them or they won't. The petition to Lucas made sense because he was personally refusing to release the films and we thought that maybe it would make him realize that a lot of people care about the original versions. Now, it boils down to, "will we make money by releasing this?" as well as, "will releasing the OT create good will and build hype for our movies?" along with a few other business decisions. The new management isn't going to say, "will releasing the OT go against the original vision of the films?" they're going to make their decisions based on business, not some vague and nondescript "true vision", and also not based on a petition or boycott. They already know what we want, and there's no way an OUT release wouldn't make money, so I'd be surprised if it isn't released in the lead-up to Ep. VII; maybe it will be announced at celebration (I think the first SW blu ray was announced at a convention).
