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.
I really wouldn't read too much into it. Look at the fiasco with hamlet. Vierra was an example yoshi used so players would have something to compare too.

Also what makes people so sure that everyone who voted for a mammal like race saw "Vierra omg do want!"? I could vote for the mammal race and imagine a bat like stealthy race known for being shifty and menacing, or a walrus race with tusk. There are more instances of mammals on this earth then bunny's...
