Yes, the matte boxes are very much there but I fiddled with the contrast to make sure they were visible as little as possible without loosing too much detail - and I did the same for the Emperor's blobs in ROTJ v1.0 and I will probably use HDTV and do the same for v2.0 as well.
That's exactly what I was hoping for!
Keeping them there because they're part of the process used to make the film, but fixing the brightness and contrast so they aren't in your face like in the GOUT :)
