With that said while the idea of Ronso does have merit i think it is unlikely due to a few reasons;
1. Player demand. I believe that male Viera is on more players wish list than male Ronso this isn't to say it shouldn't be included if possible just that if we was asked which we prefer i expect male viera to win
2. No appearance or mentions in or out of game. While au ra had sparce lore if any before HW we did have yugiri who was around since 2.2 which shows how long they were planning a new race not necessarily au ra but definetly a new race was concieved at that point whereas Ronso has had nothing no npc no mention in either lore book, lore book 2 being the more prevalent as if wanted to hint potential Ronso single line in that book be good enough hint
3. Business sense. This is probably most baffling to me as not adding male Viera is probably a bigger gamble than anything else why take that risk when they know the biggest profit is in the Viera as a whole rather than just female Viera and an unknown race.

If Matsuno and Yoshi are both set against male Viera then i would feel it more of a mistake to add Viera in general as no matter what gender locking will create a negative stigma that a lot of kmmos have of pandering too much to a specific audience, cause more discomfort with the community than adding them but with a different look to what each individual person wants.

I know i am basically wishing at this point as i do really want to be a bunboi but adding a second gender locked race is probably going to create more issues than just adding male Viera would. SE has full creative freedom with male Viera whereas adding any other race in ff would be as restrictive as female Viera are if it was a new race completely the next question is was it worth it over male Viera?
