I agree, but in terms of preservation it should be as FfaerieOxide says. That way better algorithms can be used on those scans in the future.

And people should have choices over whether they want a version that’s just the high quality scan only, or whether they want the AI upscale version. Personally I like the film grain, the super clean look just doesn’t feel right. But if people want the super clean look, I’m not going to be stopping them from having it.

And we don’t want to get into the same situation as with the Star Wars OT where all kinds of alterations are made but you can’t legally get a version without those alterations.
