I don't like the idea of just converting the book to a more modern language version without keeping the original intact. If this happens automatically for all of our classics, we are the losers.

I concur. For example, Mark Twain's
Huckleberry Finn. Create two versions: (1) Original (2) Modern (including PC changes if essential for use in schools). I haven't voted, as the options are mutually exclusive.
