D&D 5E Plans for the Playable races in VGtM?

Also, it takes reading it twice to realize you said Rakasta and not Rakshasa

Dragonborn can't even really be called a "playable race." They're more like a playable species.

lol wut?

People get so weird about dragonborn.

Anyway, barring something really weird like playable Illithids, anything from Volos will be welcome in my games, but I do have specific plans for Firbolgs. Goliaths, and to a lesser extent goblinoids are already in all my settings and campaigns.
Cat people might get a spot even tho I prefer hengeyokai

kobolds are already in my games too.

Mostly volos gives me official player stats for things I'm already using.

In any campaign I run, the set of available races depends on the specifics of the campaign and the setting in which it is run. It's unlikely that any of the WGtM races will be available at any point; it's much more likely that I'll be reducing the number of playable races rather than expanding it.

For all we know, the Tabaxi have killed the Rakasta and taken their stuff; the latter sound too much like Rahasha, too, which is a problem for branding.

That is possible.
