I do support the right of the artist to revise his/her own artwork, and have no problem with either Spielberg or Lucas keeping involved with their films over time. (And ethically, a studio/owner has no artistic rights, but a responsibility NOT to tinker with an artists work).
Having said that, I think that the announcement about releasing both versions is fantastic. Not every artistic revision is an improvement, and releasing both does provide insights into the work that releasing only one or the other could not do.
I hope the announcement means what it seems to mean. I'd like other films released on DVD this way as well. Pleasing everyone is not always a vice.
