It's still possible, but why it's such a huge tick for some people seems strange to me. It'd be like asking why no one will ever kill Tyrande or why no one will ever kill Vol'jin. They're hugely important to the WoW lore, they're not gonna just die off because you have your panties in a bunch. Not to mention their power isn't on some scale YOU or your character could imagine, they're practically raid bosses in their own right, as city guardians have shown us.
