No changes to old content

Just a link to a post from Tigole on what happens to the old content, places like Molten Core, when the Burning Crusade expansion comes out: Nothing. "We don't have any immediate plans to change that content or the gear from those zones. ... And those who have never seen those zones, can experience them for the first time with an increased level cap. ... For now, the old raids will remain 40 person. ... For now, the reset timers will remain the same."

I think this is great. Of course you can argue whether it makes any sense to go to Molten Core with 40 level 70 players. But the good thing is that you *can* do it. Just like you now can go and farm the Deadmines with a level 60 character.

Even if the Molten Core loot won't be much good to a level 70 character, enabling "easy mode" raiding could be interesting. For me it takes the stress away from my guild trying to beat BWL. If we don't manage now, we can always go later. The fact that the end boss of Naxxramas is probably too hard for us to beat at 60 doesn't mean that I will never be able to see him. And guild who never even managed to go to Molten Core, because they couldn't get 40 people together, can visit it at a higher level and with less people. The level 60 raid dungeons become training grounds and tourist attractions, instead of being the one path to progress.
