And by theatrical, they mean revisionist grading and no mono mixes.

It must be hard going through life this grumpy.

It will be great if they release any sort of real effort of restoring the OOT. It's possible that they will even do a good job. But they'll never be able to satisfy the people on this forum. Even if Mike Verta's version comes out, there will be people here complaining about how it would have been great if he hadn't ruined it with some tiny decision they don't like.

Obviously, it would be wonderful if Disney or whoever might be restoring it gave it the same attention to detail as Mike. Even if they don't, it will be uplifting news to have 'the powers that be' no longer pretending that the OOT didn't happen or was a beta test of the film. If it happens, 99.9% of people outside of this forum who want the OOT restored will be totally happy with it (although, it sounds like plenty of them are happy with the GOUT or VHS). And the people on this forum who can spot the flaws will undoubtedly be fixing the color and remuxing the audio anyway.

That said, it would be really unfortunate if a significantly flawed restoration blocked Mike's release.
