We could get the Maleficent storyline in flashback form (like how 4A's had the Anna in Mist Haven storyline almost exclusively occupying the flashbacks) and Cruella in the present (like how the majority of the Snow Queen storyline in the present) It'd be two different villains and two different storylines in two different timelines. It's interesting, but Maleficent is not dead in present day, so I think not having her in Storybrooke would be a missed oppurtunity. Emma did kill her. Because when the Curse brought her back to defend the trigger she wasn't flesh. She was dust and ragged clothing. Basically a spectral zombie. Unless the Curse kept her somewhat alive and the return to the EF revived her (like how Smee became human again), I don't see her being alive at all. Considering we don't even know what Maleficent is (the human form may not be her natrual form), I think it's too early to say she's dead, because she was in an undead form. She could be an entity extremely hard to kill, like Rumple due to being the Dark One.
