My position is that all else is not equal in this situation. Certainly I do think this likely points towards a Spelljammer book on the horizon, but I don’t think that fits all of the races presented here, and UA has a track record of lumping playtests for multiple books together (see the Strixhaven owl people are called being in the same UA with faeries and Harengon) and actively disguising the fluff of the material being tested (lots of examples, but the “Greek options” UA with centaurs and minotaurs comes to mind). I think that’s likely going on here too, and that we’re seeing a mix of Spelljammer and Dark Sun material here (and we do know there are two classic settings on the schedule), as well as some subtle testing of the waters for possible Anniversary Edition changes. I think that is a more complete explanation of what we’re seeing here than it all being for Spelljammer, which means those explanations are not equal in all other ways than their complexity, and therefore Occam’s razor is not applicable.</blockquote>
