Design-wise, they can do all the resemblances they want, but lore-wise, they're entirely different races. Which is why if a Viera-like race were introduced, it would not be exactly Viera.
Most people who want Viera/A Viera-like Race want it because of how they/Fran looked, so I'm not seeing the problem. :-B
