Right; that was my impression.

My feeling was that the Old Testament was understood explicitly as a distinct body of scripture from the New Testament, and so was approached in a distinct manner -- in a sense which made editting its contents generally inappropriate as a principle. Such that even the disputes between Protestants and non-Protestants regarding the Old Testament are not matters of such editting but rather disagreement over what version of the Tanakh should be used.
