On the bright side your favorite characters can still end up in new Canon material according to Lucasfilm's official statement. In fact Darth Bane has already been mentioned in TCW.
I personally believe that it is foolish to declare entirety of existing EU as Legends. I suspect that upcoming movies have something to do with this decision.
Nonetheless, Legends stuff is still official work and have credibility. Dismissing it won't be a good decision for debates amongst fans at minimum.

Actually, DE content may or may not get retconned. I don't think that the entire EU is in the same situation.It remains to be seen how things proceed in the near future.

Legends isn't official canon bro. And DE is a part of Legends either way.
Official EU canon only starts with all future products. They simply can't keep the old stuff consistent with canon when Lucas himself would always contradict it, and never even read any of it. But as of right now only the 6 films and TCW is official canon. And I suspect that's why there hasn't been an EU section on the official site for a while.
