How will Worgen and Goblin DKs fit into lore?

I still don't think the lore can explain them.
There's a quest chain in silverpine that states worgen can't be raised by necromancy. Which is a reason Darius Crowley uses to convince the hillsbard refugees to join them.
I don't get why Goblins who were neutral in life would just become horde as a Death knight. No other Dk switched fraction like that. (With the obvious exception of leaving the scourge to be horde/alliance of course)
I just think that blizzard wants all races to have Dk, whether lore backs it up or not doesn't seem to matter.

First point: They probably either realized the Steamwheedle Cartel wouldn't accept them back, or they wanted to get revenge on the Scourge, which means the Horde is the way to go.
Second: They admitted as much when they announced Goblin/Worgen DKs. I don't see giving a justification for it as back-peddling as it is cleaning the fourth wall (as opposed to shattering it). One of the things I love most about WoW is the ability to be drawn into the universe. Out-and-out admitting in-game than something only exists for game purposes is not conducive to that.
I would only have an issue if they fast-forwarded WotLK to Cata timeframe, but then the
entire expansion's
content would be pointless.

Maybe you are right about the cartel thing. But it seems a bit last-minute on blizzards part.
I'd rather there was no lore on this subject rather then lore being retconned into it all.
