It didn't exactly go over well last time they tried to change things with three editions of development, especially when some fiends changed to opposite alignment, some monsters radically changed appearance and back history, and others vanished only to see their name reused for entirely different creatures. Moving forward they probably would do best to proceed softly, preserving options wherever possible, rather than IMO trying to define a new solid definition that fits neither the Great Wheel nor the 4e World Axis design and ends up being unpalatable to both camps.Especially with a lot of the (quite appreciated) conciliatory talk towards the Great Wheel, it would be strange to see some of those changes (like to the succubus) be even more codified in the MM. But we don't know for certain yet what will happen. We'll see.Something like 'In the Great Wheel cosmology succubi are demons' and then a sidebar with 'in other cosmologies they might be devils, or neither, etc etc'. I think that could work best.</blockquote>
