Nice to see things went well.
However, trying hard to be a realist, i doubt blizzard will release a pure vanilla build ever again, if they did, people would be petitioning for <insert name here> expansion server, and they dont want their community fractured like that, not to mention maintaining multiple character copy's over several expansion servers like was Nostalrius' plan would be a huge hassle.
What i see as more probable is that they apply the current (Legion) system of zone scaling and use something similar to make 60 content relevant at 110 or whatever, and then make the claim that "we've brought vanilla back", though the content was only a small part of vanilla charm. All that old content exists in the current binarys, so no need to recreate old models n' stuff if they emulate vanilla in retail.
