Why stop at playable races? I want it all
So I have to vote vendors, period
I agree! I want to ID all vendors, but I don't see them adding any major new art until a few publishes into the space expansion. IDing player races doesn't take any new art, just some programming! I guess it is just me being impatient...
I would be veryhappy with you asking;
Vendor ID'ing - Is it feasible? Will it happen? 
P.S. Even if vendor ID'ing for non-playable races was limited to body stuff (height, weight, etc) I would be extremely happy.

If I could ask TH one question about Image Design it would be....
"Image Design has always been a very easy skill to master using Muon Gold. After the chef revamp in Publish 6 Vassarian Brandy was added to the game. A side effect of this was that Image Design was now able to be mastered in 25 minutes and I believe this is the only skill in game that can be mastered in such a short space of time. Is the current speed ofImage Design skill gain a side effect from the chefrevamp and are there any plans to slow down ImageDesign skill progression in line with the other professions in game?"
*writes her question down on a postcard and throws it into the hat with the others*
My question: When will we get the mini-publish?

The new Image Designer enhancements should be coming to you live on May 11th. I also think your Image Design Dev is working this weekend to get it polished up and ready for QA next week.

Ok! I think some of us were concerned because May 11 is not far from now and it isn't even on testcenter yet. With all of the conentration on TC on Deathwatch, I personally thought that maybe the dungeon was going to be pushed tominipublish 8.1 and the ID one pushed back to 8.2.

The problem is that customization of vendors is already a weak merchant skill which has an entire tree devoted to it.
Trust me, that's the answer you will get if you ask that question if asked in the short-form "19 answers" threads.
Yes, ID's *should* be the ones doing it, but the problem is the Devshave backed themselves into a design corner by giving an entire tree of the merchant profession to hiring/customizing vendors. That's 14 skill points merchants have to spend just to be able to choose different species, and at the top level you can give them some clothes.
This is going to be a tricky area with the upcoming vendor revamp - I think the best soloution is for the merchant and ID communities to work together now to try and see how a combination of the two working together could happen. There are tons of things about the creation and selection of vendors that need to change, and I don't want to see groups working against each other on this. It may be as simple as ID's just being able to change the height/weight/color, but I have a feeling the merchant skills will have to matter as to what type of work can be done or the Hiring tree would be even more devalued than it is now.

May 11, yippee skippy! /emote writes down the date so she can take the day off (yes I am that excited about it!)
I would like to put my vote in for "when will there be additional hair styles for all races" ... I assume it would come for JTL since there will be new races who will need hairstyles at that point and it would seem natural to have the others come in at the same time, but.... well, enquiring minds want to know!
Yeah, who do they think they are, making people work on weekends?
Them darn Image designers hehe
I dont even know what those nifty tents are for even......
