I have never understood this 'if you give a mouse a cookie...' logic re: things like this.

Yes, if FR releases X, people will immediately ask for X+1. A good example is ancient genes getting ported to moderns, we got Mosaic/Breakup and most of the responses were "[Other ancient gene] should be next!"

...so? As long as the suggestions are polite, who cares? It's not like the userbase has the capacity to break into the staff's houses and hold their goldfish hostage if they don't adapt the halos or whatever.

Start with the easiest stuff (flowerfalls and winds, which are literally the same across many modern poses already, and invisibility cloaks and ENC for utility). Eventually trickle in slightly more involved things like lanterns, candles, emblems and standards - yes, maybe even prioritize what there's a lot of community feedback for.

Pets are iffy (some would be easy to adapt, others less so) and I see the points about flights crying discrimination if they don't have any specific floaty apparel, so an all-or-nothing philosophy unfortunately makes more sense there, but if the main rationale behind never getting even the most basic copy/paste stuff on ancients is really "you must be firm about telling children no or they'll never learn to behave", that's pretty petty.
