The hacked in "Bill is schizophrenic" was unpleasant.

I'm still a little unsure about this. It's writing off the canon plot as a conspiracy theory, but Eliezer surely knows that sometimes conspiracies are correct (a few are stranger than fiction; besides the well known Gulf of Tonkin, there's also Operation Gladio or Propaganda Due) and that they really are out to get you. Cryonics, for example has been written off as a conspiracy theory by some.

And from a writer's perspective, it rearranges a lot of characters. Aside from Pettigrew now being dead as he's supposed to be, Sirius is now stuck in Azkaban, Bill is AWOL at Mungo's, and Remus has much less motivation to come in. My hope is that Eliezer actually has a different conspiracy cooked up which will use those characters, and it'll be a lesson in 'following the hard evidence no matter how silly/low-status/conspiratorial outsiders consider the theory' (with obvious relevance to cryonics).
