There certainly are a lot of encoding, restoration and authoring experts around these days. All of them who I'm sure have also seen original theatrical prints of films of whatever age.
I'm surprised we haven't seen a lot more obscure titles released on Blu-Ray as surely all these people must be undercutting each others' services and production must be getting cheaper by the day.
The caps-a-holic shots may exhibit some softness and smoothness but it is STREETS ahead of the Optimum DVD and I'd rather watch my BD any day.
Then again, I could always wait another ten years for a better version, if it ever comes at all.
