The undead inconsistency was acceptable because it was one race and two specs, and it was justified by their pain.
But holy void elf preists and shadow lightforged draenei is just a clusterfuck that Blizzard didn't care about lore-wise and was just looking for the cheapest, quickest way to give us two allied races without doing much work despite how redundant/stupid they were aesthetically, and lore-wise. There's no defending this, IMO.
