I expect that changes to the Intro of the 1981 edition would be done with a conservative tone (sort of like the recently announced "non-change" of the honor code), but I do think it is quite possible that there could be such changes in a new edition (and we're due for a new edition).

Editions of the BoM between 1865 and the early 1920s had Orson Pratt's footnotes. Elder Pratt had a way of specifying the location of BoM cities that would be shocking to Mormons today.
