Okay, I understand what you mean. I think I focused a bit too much on the "lost" content because, in my opinion, a retuned instance is lost content. You keep the lore, the graphisms and cool emotes, but you lose the "heart" of the content: the fine tuning of a lovely scripted fight. A 5-man Opera event would looks like a 25-man one, but the dynamic behind it would be different. It's not just a matter of adjusting a boss hitpoints or damage output, it's that you can't expect the same complexity in a 5-man encounter as in a 10-man one.
After reading your replies, I think I can agree when you say that 5-man'ers lack progression. Maybe made the "standard" version of a re-tuned Karazhan a 5-man dungeon of "heroic" difficulty, and the let the players access the old raiding instance using the "heroic mode" of said instance ? This way, the old content would not be lost.
But on a second though, I doubt that a lot of players would like to experience old content "the hard way", doing a 10-man run of Karazhan when a 5-man one is accessible with the same rewards...
