There was some doubt about the release dates for the various planes, but I hunted down all the 1999 patch notes (that I'm aware of) and got those dates nailed down. The devs adjusted the server timeline accordingly to fit the patch messages.
What you're seeing isn't 'deviation from the classic timeline', it's the timeline becoming more classic over time.
I understand in the Trumpian era that everything seems like fake news, but this isn't a conspiracy, I promise.
