I mean I personally have no idea what that would take, and I haven't seen a post from the devs on it either (unless I missed them commenting on this somewhere). So as far as I know, it could be a Herculean effort, or it could be relatively easy once the decision is made. On what basis are you arguing that new sets couldn't be added if they decided to free up the old?

On a smaller scale, for this thread the ask seems to be for one set - and they've added lookalike glamour gear for different classes plenty of times before. There's already precedent for that.
