In this case, I agree with Farerb (well, less cynical, lol). They opened a plot thread that they should have closed, or appropriately dealt with.

Lily could have been a bigger character if she was introduced earlier (maybe season 3) and she had a neat role, but that was dropped (for some other reasons...ahem pregnancy). I'd disagree with CDA in part. Maleficent and Lily are not important characters. In seasons 1-2, Maleficent had potential to be important and relevant (but alas actress availability) and Lily could have been introduced a little earlier and her role (after the whole nonsensical "potential for darkness" plot) wasn't stressed enough. Everyone knows that the Dark One is more an opposite to the Savior than Lily was. So, sure Lily had potential, but they squandered it. From that interview, they are probably surprised a bit at that question popping up. Lol-worthy that I will make a big claim: A & E were not aware that Snow and David were that popular!
