I'm not assuming anything. There are numerous examples of estates allowing works to be butchered to make more money. This has been discussed numerous times.

I obviously know that the estate has the legal right to do whatever it wants, no matter how egregious. But speaking up can have an effect, as Sondheim's editorial proved.

Again, I have no problem with adaptations - have at it. But - again - tossing out a book completely is not an adaptation, and the ethically correct and respectful thing to do is to retitle the work, as was done with Crazy For You.
