It’s pretty much impossible to know for sure what George’s intent was by the time he sold Disney, especially since he claimed that the only reason the OUT wasn’t on the blu ray was because it was too expensive. Maybe it’s true that he just didn’t have time to restore the OUT because he was completely focused on making more changes. Regardless, my point wasn’t so much on the “leaks” themselves, but more the fact that because there is no straightforward path to restoring these films, then perhaps they will take the big project of restoring these films as the opportunity to release both the Special Edition (whether with updated 4K CGI or not) as well as the unaltered versions.
