Changes for the Relaunch

With the relaunch starting really soon, I've been getting really excited, like any other fan who read the books as they were getting released long ago in the 90's. But then I came across this post on Racebending.com about getting the Marco model changed. On the post, they say that the two changes being made to the series are the updated covers and "the book series' trademark pop culture  references will be changed to appeal to young readers". 

Are they really doing that? It seems like a massive job and could greatly affect the story. It shocked me because I hadn't considered the fact that the story might be changing; I thought the relaunch was strictly reprinting the old books with new covers.  

And then it got me thinking as to if they were making any other changes to the story. Certainly nothing major (otherwise whole books would have to be rewritten) but is there anything else being changed? Do we know how drastic the changes are? And how do you feel about the changes that might be made?
