Yes.
I feel that old RPGs are still culturally significant, and fill a specific niche where the oldest examples of a genre can stand next to newer ones on their own merits. Final Fantasy II is still great - Final Fantasy IV is still fantastic.
JRPGs are nearly timeless by their very nature, and remakes and re-releases are both beneficial and necessary if we want to continue passing down aspects of our culture as game players. I hope they never stop being re-released, because there should never be a generation without access to the original Dragon Quest, as archaic as it is.
