Am I wrong to expect the lordaeron core to be ported to ragnaros and deathwing? Did they say so ? Did they state the opposite? Do we know this at all?

It wont be ported, they will simply replace Ragnaros and Deathwing with copies of the Lordaeron server when it's ready.

As said above by 69, they'll just get rid of the previous core and start using the new one. Data most likely won't be lost, I don't think there were some huge database changes, but they sure know what those changes are and will be ready to make those updates without affecting anybody.
Now if you ask me for a date of when is that going to happen, all I can say is just an hipothesis:
Lordaeron will enter Wotlk in december 12, what means that they'll start from the very basics of wotlk and go on. So considering it took about 2 months to get from classic to Wotlk, it'll probably take about 1-2 month(s) till they're ready to make public a version that they find good enough for us to play.
What means we could've having this new core in Ragnaros/Deathwing in January or February or even March of 2016. I don't think it will take any longer, but let's hope that no inconvenience happens.

What you 2 said is the definition of core porting, exchanging the old one for the new one which is located in another place already. Thanks anyways though, this means "yes".

Exactly, you get well. They will use Lordaeron Core for Deathwing-Ragnaros once they release all the Wotlk content on Lordaeron, but Deathwing-Ragnaros will keep their rates (x7 experience rates, and x5 rates for reputation, gold).

Unless you're actually a programmer, in which case...
- WikipediaIn software engineering, porting is the process of adapting software so that an executable program can be created for a computing environment that is different from the one for which it was originally designed (e.g. different CPU, operating system, or third party library). The term is also used when software/hardware is changed to make them usable in different environments.
