Will the forthcoming Penric's Progress form Baen contain any new content? Forward? Afterward?

It will have an about-two-thousand word intro from me, yes. (Some of which consists of me saying, "Go read the book first, then come back!" Possibly I should have just made it an afterword...)

If you were writing the Vorkosigan books for the first time in 2022, do you think you'd still choose to refer to hermaphrodites like Bel Thorne as "it" or would you use "they/them" instead? If so, have you thought about maybe doing an updated edition of the books to reflect this? I think the use of "it" is a bit jarring to modern readers.

The question about the demon's different personalities disagreeing made me wonder. Does a well developed demon like Desdemona have any thoughts that are separate than the previous hosts? Besides the urge to chaos. Penric refers to Desdemona as all of them collectively, but there also seems to be some sort of unity of thought when he isn't calling on a specific personality.
