I think the Ed/Ned Williamson change is less egregious than some, as the names were used pretty interchangeably. I personally have come across Ed more frequently than Ned in the 1880s papers. I understand the reasoning behind the changes, though I don't particularly think it achieves the intended effect. Thankfully, the search function still works correctly with the old names.
