"Splitting" the playerbase 3 ways, good idea or nah?

As we wait here on the eve of TBCC release, this question crossed my mind

Very very soon, in a few hours from now, the playerbase will be “split” 3 different ways:

1. retail players
2. Classic players
3. TBCC players

Any predictions on the effects of this spread?

Will queue times go up in retail? Will LFG be a ghost-town? Thoughts?

It honestly won’t matter too much for retail. Most people that play AND stay in Classic or TBCC are players who weren’t going to play retail to begin with. I think the converse is true too - most of the people who are still subbed in retail at this point in the patch cycle aren’t likely to switch over to either of the classic iterations for the long haul.
