It's tricky with recent theory, because it's not like you can have another scholar come in and do an annotated version, or write a new intro and editorial. If you want new front-matter, you're pretty much relying upon the author hirself to write a new intro. Some academics are very good about that, and second and third editions of certain magna opera have been drastically revised or extended.

But it's time consuming, and doesn't pay all that well. And some publishing houses will look to the bottom line and reprint without bringing the author in for revisions at all.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) social progress moves faster than copyright law or a career in academic writing can keep up with sometimes.
