They were not.
They were at a crunch and had to make a compromise; because they wanted to make something new they believe the game needed (Hrothgar) and a long-made fan request (Viera) They didnt have time to make males AND females for both, and they could have just done one race now, and the other race later, but this "May" have been the last races put into the game, so they gave us a Male, and a Female.
Since we've only ever SEEN a Female Viera it made sense to do Viera for the girls. And then the Hrothgar for the males. And they have said if they could, they would try to bring in the other genders. So far we have Male Viera, and very likely; unless surprised, will have to wait another 2 years for Female Hrothgar. Tho, I guess we can be happy that it was announced "They are Coming"

I wouldn't go that far, just they were vague about it because you never wanna make a promise you possibly can't keep.
So "maybe" is the better answer instead of No; then suddenly you Can do it. Or Yes; and suddenly you Cant do it. Cause those answers would make you look like a liar.
