The mutantrace rework is something I'm eagerly awaiting, I've spoken with Tarmunora about and have since helped to do some preliminary work (which I still need to finish). It is a gargantuan task not just strictly from an effort perspective, but also keeping in mind the many things that need to happen in terms of code clean up and conversion of existing characters into a new framework. Once I have time and motivation I'll definitely be putting more time into it and help out where possible, but the assessment is true that there really isn't a chance it will come out this year or even the next, the prospects are nebulous.
All that being said, it's why I genuinely believe adding this is a good change. Not even a permanent change, but a band-aid fix. What I mean by that is, I think this is something that can very easily be removed in a year or however long it takes for the full rework to come out. But as stated, we don't need to starve ourselves of fun or cosmetics just because we're waiting on something proper. I say merge it with the prospect of removing it later again, because it will likely become deprecated with the new framework, and since it's a trait we can easily axe it later.
