copypasted from the message I left on the chucklefish forums-

Hey there - some folks making a starbound API to add extra functions and animations is adding a bunch of support for user-made races. They don't have the Kazdra though, and I've never wanted to play any other race than this. Could we talk about perhaps getting your permission to let them support your race?
Previously they've kinda just made support for whatever they pleased, but with the latest release they've disabled old race compats and are pushing to now get permission for all new ones going forward, even for previously supported races
