I think the idea of a Macross reboot could work; Batman Returns is a reboot, the new Galactica is pretty sucessful, and the upcoming Bond flick is an attempt to reboot the franchise, although I'm not very confident about how it's going to play out. I think the time we're living in right now lends itself appropriately to the Macross universe, with the public receiving more imagery of the military and global conflicts in the media. Galactica is succesful because of this; and Galactica shares a lot of similarites with Macross. If Kawamori ever wanted to fully update and polish his original mecha designs and storyline, now is the time to do it.
