So CG just abandoned the "neutral alignment" idea, didn't they.

What was the point of creating the "neutral alignment", creating provisions/labels/etc for it in ROTE, etc for ONE character (Hondo)? 
He was released over two years ago now, and there hasn't been a single new Neutral toon added since.  No explanation or conversation shared around their plan to either add more Neutral toons or just simply admit they didn't think the idea through and are abandoning it. Can just convert him to DS and give him his ship, at this point.
