I think the more interesting question is: Would Twain ever make such a change, even if he were alive today?

I have read many times that George Carlin is today's Twain. So if that's the case, I'd believe that Mr. Twain would have not ever made such a change, if someone made the change via some technology like ClearPlay that auto changed it I think he'd write some mocking tirade against it, the people who desired such a change, and those that subscribed to reading such changes.
