No matter how it would be done, there'd be a thread with someone crying about it in some fashion or another. the lore says the racial advantages, and common sense and vegas betting money says when/if they do racial bonus' they'll go by those. if they we're to go by deity, they would also have everyone up in arms, because "i'm a tank but i picked Nophica instead of Halone or Rhalgr" or what have you, then they'd probably have to allow deity changes. (which wouldn't be a bad idea, in real life people change religions all the time.) But the long and short of it is, you can't please all of the people, all of the time.
