RDA 2.5.14 provides an optional addition: “If a resource lacks an edition statement but is known to contain significant changes from other editions, supply an edition statement, if considered important for identification or access. Indicate that the information was taken from a source outside the resource itself”. As Deborah mentioned, it meets the principle of differentiation.
