I think it's important to see the new forms as what they are: a range of new models and skins that you can choose from
in some way. Let's not forget that Druids have been requesting new or re-worked forms for a
very long time, and now they are almost here.
Rather than potentially delaying their release by working on new or updated functions for the barbershop, we've instead got a simple way of choosing which of the new models you want. This seems to me to be
a first step, much like the appearance of the barbershop with the initial selection of new hairstyles was. Now that the first step is about to be made for new forms, who knows what we might do in the future to allow Druids to choose from these models in a way other than how we currently intend to implement them.
Seems more important, at least in my eyes, that the new forms are no longer in the "new forms is something we would like to do
sometime" status, and have now actually been seen by the community and are much closer to actually being in-game than ever before.
Personally, even though
my Druid isn't feral, I'm still quite pleased new models are coming.
