Uplifting Goblins

In my campaign, there has been some suggestion that the elves betrayed
the Goblins after the Elves used said Goblins to rid the spheres of the
dominance of the Thri-Kreen (reference: Lost Ships where it mentions
that the Thri-Kreen were the power in the spheres before the Elves).
After the battles were won, and the elves smartly threw the fecund
goblin-kin in harm's way, the elves were able to defeat the Goblin-kin
and establish themselves as a power.  True it wasn't that easy, and the
goblins fought hard, but eventually the elves won round one.
	Now I wonder if, in addition to allying temporarily with the goblins
against the larger threat (thri-kreen), maybe the elves themselves
"uplifted" the goblin-kin.  This gave them cannon fodder they could care
less about, in addition to an ally they believed they could rid
themselves of easily after they defeated the insect-kin.
	This plays very well in my own campaign, where it is already suggested
that the elves may have created their own nemesis in the Scro.
