I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. connections to make us think they're the same person).
 * Mothy never outright said Allen killed Michaela. If you look at the lyrics of Servant of Evil, they're vaguely phrased in order to be interpreted in many ways. It's just that we, the fans, chose to interpret it as Allen killing Michaela. This is the same as The Last Revolver (where mothy made a ton of Gumillia-Nemesis connections to make us think they're the same person) and Re_birthday (where mothy made a ton of Allen-Irregular
 * You could say that the story of Nemesis changed a lot (which is why the Muzzle song took so long), but saying it's a retcon is incorrect. All of the sin vessels had an original form in Chrono Story, Wrath's just following the pattern.
 * Kept Waiting For a Response was discontinued as a plot point. Mothy didn't change anything when he declared it non-canon, i.e. Rin still died at an old age surrounded by the orphans she cared for. A retcon is the author taking information that was previously said and outright changing it, which mothy did not do.
 * Eve's whole transmigration thing is not a retcon. Mothy's not contradicting/changing previous info, he just built around it. You could say that this was foreshadowed all the way back in Flower of the Plateau, where we have the implied narrator using different pronouns and Mikulia acting OOC.
 * Mothy's probably gearing for another twist with the Elluka-Ma connections. There are also a bunch of Irina-Ma connections, plus mothy's deliberately being vague about her. Smells like a plot twist to me.
 * The Clockwork Lullaby wasn't retconned, it just hasn't been addressed yet. The Last Revolver was this until a few months ago.
 * Irina changing forms is needed. Otherwise, Elluka would have figured out it was her from the start and probably defeated her, depriving us of a central antagonist. Irina's powers and connections to Elluka were not a retcon - stuff like Recollective Musicbox and Abyss I.R. in the DoE novels prove that mothy had intended to write her into the plot since early on/the beginning. Also, Irina's name was not retconned, we simply updated our flawed translation (same as Sateriajis -> Sateriasis and Meilis -> Maylis).
 * Who knows? You're certainly free to come up with your own theories. My theory is that Irregular is a fragment of Allen's soul.
