I believe Lucasfilm always intended to no longer make the original versions available again as early as 1994.

I agree. The whole "ONE LAST TIME" marketing campaign with the faces set certainly indicates to me that Lucas wasn't planning on re-releasing the OOT on any format after 1995.

Even that was ultimately a lie, no matter how crappy the GOUT was.

As for Lucas' vision, I think it had more to do with keeping them current and 'updated' rather than actually fixing anything.
