Character graphical changes are NOT in an acceptable state, please make it optional

While I am in the crowd of people not entirely happy with the change to my character (bun-girl using face 4, for some reason they completely changed the shape of our lips), in general the update looks pretty good (the textures on the clothes look so good, for example). I'm also one of those people who find the creative thought process quite interesting so I would be curious to know what prompted some of the more dramatic changes. ie, the shortening/blunting of the moon kitty fangs I keep hearing about. Or in more personal instance, the change in the shape of bun-girl face 4's lips - did they perhaps feel that face 4's lips were too similar to face 1's and they wanted to difference between the two to be more obvious?

And while it's awesome that they're giving us all a free fantasia at launch, judging from a lot of the comments here on the forums and on discord, it kinda seems like little more than a band-aid. It's great if you wanna have a fresh new look, but for the people who are only wanting to make small tweaks it's not as useful with the current customisation system (having features locked to a specific face).
Using my bun-girl as example again, I love how she looks in the benchmark, except for the new lips and sadly there is no amount of fantasia that I can throw at her that will allow me to slap face 1's lips onto face 4.... do you think they will ever give us a little more freedom/flexibility with facial/body customisation (like being able to pick eyes, lips, horns (if you're an au'ra), etc separate from face shape)?

edit: oh, and just for reference, here's the before and after:
