I'd rather have an album of 15 tracks with crossfades and edits, than an album of 45 tracks with clean openings and clean endings. At best, it's a bit annoying; at its worst, unlistenable.
I agree, just vice versa 
Besides, isn't this what the original album was/is for ?! ... the entire old album is even included on the new release, for those who prefer that.
It is probably possible to put together a more "suite"-like album even with the (close to) full score, but in most cases, to get a good result, some kind of compromises has to be made; not include some bits and pieces here and there (like the last 30 seconds on a cue to make it fit into the next. Sometimes, which is also the case with some of Zimmer's old albums, layers in the mix itself have been removed/changed to accomplish this. But this is of course not so easy, if what is available, or exist, is a finished stereo mix. Or something). And/or perhaps put together cues from different places in the film, which fits more together, and stuff like that.
It will hardly ever be a very good result if you decide to both keep the full cues, in film order, and at the same time combine the cues. In most cases choose one or the other, but not both. Certainly not do it with every single short cue. Or, if it's an option, if space on the disc(s) permits it, offer a(n) (new) alternate version (in a more 'suite'-like form) of the score as well. But I guess this applies more to a score never before released. Although in these cases, what is being offered, is more of a suite-like album anyway.
