A new edition on PG has to face the same challenges as every product that enters an already saturated market. If your edition is better by a significant margin it will rise to the top eventually.
Actually, companies typically (a) replace one model with another to reduce competition and (b) makes sure to make clear the differences between the models they have on the market.
But PG is not like a company that designs its products. It is much more like a store that offers products from different companies side by side. Why should PG prefer your book over the same book produced by somebody else? Especially if the public prefers the other book? It has always been PG's policy to never delete anything, except for copyright status changes.
