In general, I like what they are doing. Personally, I prefer the original spellings, etc., but I'm aware that archaic and "foreign" spellings are roadblocks for some readers.

The one thing that does bother me a lot is this:

Even if we do miss something, our ebooks are stored in the hugely popular Git source control system, allowing anyone to easily submit a correction.
In this day of false news and deliberate attacks alter data on sites like Wikipedia I don't want books from sites that let random users alter the books. Sending suggested "fixes" to their editors is fine, but direct access to Git is a red flag for me.
