G. Harrison's "Only A Northern Song": did the other Beatles really sabotage it (random psych noise)?

Which is an insane thought, because Anthology and the Pepper box are completely different projects, with different goals and track listings, and there's more space on a Pepper release for "Carnival of Light" than there would have been on Anthology 2 (Disc 2) with all the other songs for consideration...Of course a 12 minute sound collage freak out track would have been weird to include in the MIDDLE of a tracklist on Anthology. But as the final track on an outtakes disc for the Pepper Box? More room for it there. Same for OANS. A nice Pepper sessions outtake of it as well as the completed and stereo remixed final version should have been on the second disc after "Penny Lane" and before "Sgt. Pepper"
