Obviously you & yours aren't planning to be 4e tourney players....
If you'd read the article you'd have noticed that they tell you all this stuff that's going away - is going to get 4e Legends entries. Including the BoC!
So why exactly are you getting upset??
Becaue being legends is as good as being illegal? People don't play against it in store events, in regular games etc.

I have a completely different attitude & approach.
If I'm not playing in a tourney (and I never am) I see no need to beg my opponents permission to use the rules as written.
I don't have to (and dont) ask the opponent if I can use some rule like "Flying". So why should I have to ask if I could use a model with current edition rules?
So I dont'.
Good for you. But try that in, lets say most of the eastern europe countries, and you would soon find out that you can only play against yourself. Also there is that small problem that the rules will not get updated. So unbalanced or not, they may work for part of 4th, but in 5th, and especialy in 6th when there is a big turn over of rules again, there will just be gone.

there are quite a few other games that the GW fantasy line are perfect for, e.g. the magical version of SAGA runs to pretty much any fantasy trope you can imagine (smaller armies though), KoW is the obvious one, there are others
That is great, but what if your options for "fantasy" games is
AoS or Old World, because local stores don't support anything else. It is a bit like telling people unhappy about w40k, that they can just play something else, and it turns out that their only option is infinity and w40k models don't mash with that game because of scale/lack of vehicles/etc. I mean no one tells historical players that, they should just switch to
AoS or w40k, if things go bad for them localy.
