So why not just trim out all the excessive fat from the existing anime and make it a more managable watch?Because the original series is over a thousand episodes. Running non stop since 1999. It is a massive, massive, massive undertaking to go through. And still years to go. Who the **** knows how long Oda will take to finish the final arc. I mean, Bleach's was cut short abruptly, and it was still a good couple years of the manga. And the anime will have to trail that.
So, rather wait probably 5 years, at best, to restart it, might as well start giving it the DBZ Kai treatment now.

AWESOME! That means Skypeia, and maybe even Ennie's Lobby. I think, from a structural standpoint, it would make sense to do Skypeia as the first half of season 3 and Water 7/Enny's Lobby as the second half. Without getting into spoilers, that would give us overarching character arcs for both Robin and Usopp that season.
