It's like saying something taste like chicken, when usually it doesn't. When may get a mammal like race and they used vierra as an example, but likely it will be something different.

A mammalia race can very well be some random creature SE conjures up that has fur, personally I'd like to see something bring a more technical look to the world. Nothing cute or mysterious...
If you read all the agains viera posts its all "I don't want another furry" and "a lonely man's fantasy" I have not seen anything to say they already have lore in another game, so I don't think we should have them.

While they may not add Viera I don't think that was in there by mistake, I think they could have been looking into it, or they would have used Miqo'te as an example of a mammalian demi-beastman, because they are, looking into it more it seems to have been to see what people would think of Viera overall, and if the reception was bad, use another idea.

It would otherwise make no sense to use Viera as the example, they could have said "Mamalian demi-beastmen (similar to Miqo'te humanoids with features from other mammals)" seems to have been more of a leak or hint to me.
