according to this they're selling both versions

"The Roald Dahl Classic Collection" from the Penguin imprint will feature the original texts of 17 of Dahl's children's books while the publisher said they would also keep the recently published and separate Roald Dahl books for young readers under the Puffin imprint. The Puffin versions of Dahl's books are meant for younger readers who are new to reading.

Ah I hadn’t seen that! What I saw was they were changing them and then they backtracked and were leaving the originals up for sale. I think this is a soft step and it still leaves a bad taste because it wasn’t the author’s choice but at least they’re not erasing his word choices completely yet.

A push against being able to edit old books would be as bad a push for requiring it (i.e. censorship). It's an attempt to control people's freedom to choose what they read. If some people want Roald Dahl stories without casual reminders that the author hated them, and there are publishers willing to give it to them, that's simply them being able to choose their reading experience more freely. If other people want the original versions because they're purists or want to use them as a teaching tool about bigotry (or ya know, they agree with his views which makes them suck, but hatred still isn't and shouldn't be illegal), that's also their choice and no edited versions of the books existing alongside them is taking it away.
