Not really. It was his answer in 5.0 as well, yet here we are with male Viera becoming available in less than 6 months and female Hrothgars being in work as well, because while Yoshida thought they're done - the team decided that even if they can't do both at once - they still could do one at a time.

That said, asking for a new (altogether) race likely wouldn't work right now since Hrothgars aren't finished yet and they're working something on hairs and hats apparently (testing status huh? seems like something is in progress, after all). In future, though? Maybe, who knows. Especially if they will, in the end, rework existing armor system to make it less time/resourse demanding (which they seem to want to do though not with much of a success for now) - in that case making new races might become less of a chore than it is now. So as a whole, asking doesn't really hurt.
