What about it being a part of a new revamp of Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms?
Cataclysm added some zones that we couldn't access before, so if a new revamp its happening its only natural that we get the rest of the zones that are out there, maybe new leveling zones for subraces? (which are on the works, so it would be the perfect time to introduce them).
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
