It's not really a mess. They made that one retcon. Instead of Deacon Frost's bite just making him immune, it made him a Dhampir so it allowed them to explain how he could be active as long as he has been. With other heroes they continue to do soft retcons. I think they've changed which war the Punisher is a veteran of, for instance.
