A good point for major new editions. In this case, the new edition has very few musical corrections and is largely cosmetic, with textual explanations and other clarifications made. A few incorrectly transcribed notes and a few missing ties are fixed. If it's kept with the same layout, those who own older copies can still use them and mark them up from the new edition without springing for a whole new set for the cast. All the performance markings on the older copies don't have to be copied over. I think he largely wants a final clear edition, as it's his major work with some attention again in recent years.
