I could do it, i have done that like 5~6 times. It just takes too damn long time to do. Took me about 2 months to finish off dota and a new version came out :D

I did one map years ago. I am not too sure if it was a complete restore. (I was able to edit everything in WE except for GUI) I also translated the whole thing. It sucks how long it takes and then the new version comes out.

Here is a business opportunity for you George. Offer to restore maps for money.

I would do that but i don't have the time to do it. If people are willing to wait for a month then i'd do it.

An offer is an offer, whether it takes a month to do would be a condition of your services.

It essentially boils down to too much time and effort for too little return. Even if we did spend the time to restore maps, the people asking for it wouldn't likely do anything with that effort anyways. Cheating is fast and easy as well as useful to the person requesting.
