I think the problem with what you're saying Elyk is that you're arguing about rogues rather than Rogues. The proper noun form of Rogue in the Diablo Universe is synonymous with the Sisters of the Sightless Eye. That's why Warriv and Cain call them "The Rogues," it's an actual title, not just a craft designation.
What people mean when they say that Blizzard can't bring back the Rogue as a playable character is that Blizzard can't bring back the all-female Sisters of the Sightless Eye. Certainly, Blizzard could create a character that fits into the rogue stock archetype but they almost definitely wouldn't call it a Rogue I think because it would cause too much confusion among Diablo fans concerning the difference between this new Rogue and the Sister of the Sightless Eye one. Both names are titles so how does one differentiate?
I hope this illustrates what the problem is.

It's fine if people want to worry about semantics, it's just beyond my scope of apprehension.
I understand debating the lore and such.
