Not sure what you mean there.

A Wodehouse book originally published in 1930 that is sensitivity reader-ed to death will still fall in the public domain in two years. Putting out a revised edition of a book doesn't reset the clock. It starts a new clock for that new edition. But the original will still become PD on schedule.

As to whether this is a trend or a fad: notice these all hit in a fairly short time and none of them have been met positively. Sensitivity readers for old works are the 3D TV of the publishing world.
