Among the notable things 1. although the project itself began in 1972, the Les enfante terible project now has its main timeline during big boss' 9 year coma 2. big boss was apparently going by punished/venom snake, instead of big boss. 3 the prosthetic arm was first mentioned in snakes's revenge, but is now cannon. 4. miller, like big boss, has prosthetics. The Les Enfants Terribles project still takes place in 1972. And I know there's minor details that have changed, but it still fits into the timeline without alteration. Nothing is being changed, since we never knew what BB was doing during that time. (1) I think Kojima mentioned that there will be an explanation to the inconsistancy to Big Boss' coma and the Les Enfrante terible, so why don't we wait to see how he plays it? Bare in mind that Big Boss could have more than one coma too and each coma does not necessarily have to last years. (2) I have no comment since I haven't been following this conversation in detail. (3) what was not mentioned in teh canon doesnt mean it wasnt canon before it's being first mentioned at a later time (in terms of production sequence). (4) If I am not mistaken, prior to MGS PW (production wise), we haven't seen Miller's whole body in any MGS instalments. The MGS 1 art work would probably just be interpreted as Liquid (like how Donald Anderson was interpreted as Octopus). Also, applying the principle mentioned in (3) here, Kojima doesn't have to tell you Miller has missing limbs way back in MG2SS.
