Precisely

I remember when the Studio books were the canon, and BL (or whatever it was called then) were read-it-if-you-like-but-don't-trust-it-to=be-100%-accurate. Then again, I also remember when the first Codex was released. Space Wolves, for those who weren't there, and ever since people were complaining how they were better than every other Chapter.

I suppose I see the relationship between the Studio and BL as much like the way Star Wars Canon works. The Expanded Universe is canon, unless it contradicts something actually done by George Lucas. And then fans complain about how he's ignoring their favourite book, and he tells them to f**k off, because it's his universe and he created it.
