I'm sure their excuse is "we want to work on creating new content and leave the old stuff in the past", but they definitely do have the resources to pull it off if they wanted to update all old models.

Would love to see that just for the sake of seeing Vanilla and TBC era models all in modern style.
There's a lot of one-off models that will probably never get remade though, like Magisters Terrace Kael'thas, Zul'jin, and all the unique Troll Boss models from ZA/ZG. I'd love to see them give em a nice revamp though just for kicks.
I would love for them to update models across the board; so the new Kalecgos model would also appear in Magister's Terrace and Northrend.
Or the new Drakonid-models would also appear in the Nexus... or the new dragon models being updates in pretty much any dungeon that has dragons/drakes...
They have been actually doing this type of stuff in the background since at least Legion. Nowadays when you level through EK and Kalimdor you can clearly notice many modern models, but there's still a long way to go and IMO at this point its the terrain that looks too outdated at this point in EK and Kalimdor.
