Ha! Not a phillistine, but here's my fear with the suggestion.
Consumers will grow to think the colorized version is the original and the original BW will be lost. Like what has essentially happened the original SW trilogy.
One of the great things CBS did with the Trek TOS BD's (and HD-DVD) was include both the original and new effects. But even with that release, eyes will gravitate to the new flashy stuff instead of to how the filmmakers/artists intended it in the first place.
But, in the end, as long as the original is released with the "new" version, I'm okay with it.
