…for reasons that escape me, this isn't closed despite being in the Matrix Archives. Could someone get on that?

(Oh, and for the record, user from five years ago: the Valeyard hasn't been retconned per se, but his nature has always been ambiguous, with many contradictory statements in many equally-valid media about where he came from and who created him. It can safely be said that the Valeyard exists. It cannot be safely determined how, and we're unlikely to ever have a clearer answer.)
