I kinda started skimming the thread as things got more and more heated, but it seems less and less about being grateful supplicants and more that the Au Ra has inspired angry rants about dimorphism and company laziness. Some interesting posts have come from the former (such as the in-depth comparison of the gender models across all races), but a lot of it seems to have devolved into arguments over person opinions on what the new race was "supposed" to be.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. You don't have to like the new race and you're not required to play one when the expansion hits. As mentioned, if enough people don't play it, SE will most likely look into it and see about either making changes or taking a different approach with any future races.
However, it does seem that plenty of folks do like them and will be making one or possibly even Fantasia'ing one of their existing characters into one. AND we don't quite know what all will be entailed (hee hee, tail) with the customization. Maybe there will be a horn slider, so you can make your Au Ra lady sport a pair that'll make a minotaur blush. There could be options to add/remove more scales.
I'm ultimately going to hold my reservations until I get more information, but they do look pretty swank so far. Dimorphism or not.
EDIT: Aaaaand I took too long in compiling my thoughts, now I gotta read all these posts that popped up in the interim.
