The Deseret News has a short response from the Church on the change to the Introduction of the Book of Mormon:
The current Introduction page in the Book of Mormon was not part of the original text translated by Joseph Smith, Jr. The Introduction was written and published at the same time additional materials including footnotes and cross references were added in 1981. A one-word change was made to the Introduction in the latest edition of the Book of Mormon published by Doubleday. That change takes into account details of Book of Mormon demography which are not known. The change will be included in the next edition of the Book of Mormon printed by the Church.
Next edition! When?

Will it have a little bit less of an social arch-conservative slant in the occasional chapter heading?
Nah, I’m guessing it’s just saying “next edition” to mean “next printing”.

The work and the glory
Our approach is very simple- we detail the mandate Joseph was given from the Bible, then look at how well he did to fulfill that. We discuss Twelve Doctrines that his followers are known to believe in and compare those with the purpose of his mandate- The Book of Mormon.
