To be fair, when you think about it, it's not really that much of a retcon. Remember, most lore is told basically from the perspective of Azeroth's people.

Before the revision, it was believed that all Eredar were evil because, well, they'd never encountered any non-evil ones, so it made sense to think that's all there were. Post-revision, after the Draenei, non-evil eredar, are found, the story changes because they have new information.

It's basically the same thing as how folks believed for countless ages that Earth was flat and the Sun orbited us, until both were proven wrong. Nothing really changed except the available information, and with it our understanding of the situation.
