Quarantining gratuitous old-timey casual racial slurs to an appendix is one thing, but changing simply outdated but not otherwise derogatory language seems kind of like overkill. (Or just plain bowdlerization.)
Either way, if there are any changes made, I would like it to be noted in the product description and the front of the book, and preferably some kind of more detailed indication as to what is changed and why at some point, and perhaps a pointer to an "original" unchanged version somewhere (online text, scans, unexpurgated edition, whatever), which I appreciate is being done in the case described upthread.
