As others have said, it's such a tricky subject. On one hand you've got entertainment vs literary study. You've got the fact that the people doing the 'updating' are going to bring their own standards and opinions to the task, for better or worse.

But at the same time, an important part of understanding something in context is actually understanding the context. I mean look at how badly Shakespeare gets butchered! I only found out recently that in context "Some people are born great, some people achieve greatness, and some people have greatness thrust upon them." was a filthy sex joke!

So it's a very complicated topic, probably one with no real 'right' answer, just lots of grey areas.
