I really doubt they are going to kill the Draconian and take its stuff...again. From the looks of it, he was just discussing where they would go with campaign specific stuff. I am curious what he means by that though. Would the Draconian and the Warforged be part of the core?Draconians, eh? I wonder if that's just a throw away mention or if Dragonlance, Eberron and FR will get some mention in the playtest materials. Or perhaps draconian will be the flag they try to sell Dragonborn under to non-4er's.
My guess is that Mike answers this question a few lines later: it's a prestige class, and probably in the core.
I'd call it "draconian" even if I wasn't trying to pander to non-4er's. Even if Bethesda doesn't get the trademark, everyone who hears "Dragonborn" these days immediately thinks of Skyrim.Or perhaps draconian will be the flag they try to sell Dragonborn under to non-4er's.

I hear what your saying, however at point would you want them to accept a green light rule and move on to designing other parts of the game?
Well, taking their 1-5 scale that they use on surveys I would look for a response that trended upwards from 1 to 5, and set some threshold for the average response. What they shouldn't do is accept something that 90% of people score 4 or 5, but the remainder score 1 or 2 - a binomial distribution indicates that there's a strong divide and they should think further for a solution, or offer alternatives within the core.
