They've already done several 4Ks which have popped up in a few locations. I know Goldfinger was confirmed and perhaps FYEO but as to the other titles I'm unsure. GF was mentioned as a new anniversary restoration, but that moniker has been used several times before without any work done.

Actually they may not be forced to remaster...as there are higher res Lowry materials out there not to mention the 35mm prints they struck. I saw Dr. No this way right down to the UE Lowry credits. Just imagine the BD on the big screen...except now it looks extremely weird being magnified in such a way and looks not at all accurate.

TServo, I've seen DN via the Lowry print, Thunderball from a studio print (not sure the age-it did have the mono), and the Brosnans on their original release. TND may have been DTS, TWINE was thunderous DD EX, and DAD twice-premiere night in DTS ES and a month later in DD EX.

It appears that prints still circulate, though presumably only for those without DCPs readily available or in 4K. In other words the video sourced ones.
