Elves were always split into different races... It was just a hand
wave split before that was pretty much cosmetic.
I "think" what theses two new classes are about is aligning the
pen and paper game more with the Online RPG games and
giving you access to the more traditional classes in OLRPG's.
Warlocks are pretty standard fare as a pet controlling class,
it wouldn't surprise me if you find upon reading that rangers
get combat pets now making them more like hunters than
the traditional rangers of D&D.
I don't have the file here at work but is Warlord a replacement
for Paladin?

PS - Sorry I haven't had time to respond to the 30 emails
sitting in my in basket it's been crazy lately.
