Well, Never say Never, as they say (Though don't read anything into that.
At this point, Mike is still very against them making a return :)).
Right now the Unofficial line from FASA is that they simply couldn't
survive the no-mana period because A) If they "devolved", as normal Meta's
did to Human, their Devolution stage was wither killed off (in the case of
T'Skrang"), or they simply couldn't devolve (Living Rock??), and/or B)
They are more "mana intensive" and they simply couldn;t exist without mana,
even in a devolved form. (A) is most likly for the lizards, (B) is most
likely for the Rockies. <shrug>
And if FASA ever does want to bring 'em back, they have an out here as
well... They weren;t dead, they're sleeping until the mana gets high
enough to wake 'em... <shrug>

They are a little different, as I believe they don't quite have all the
same natural abilities the Windlings had. It's VERY strongly hinted at in
PAoE, though, and pretty much been admitted to by FASA, once again
unofficially (Once again, I don;t expect to see them to appear as a PC race
in SR).
There are, I believe, several versions of the Sprite/Windlings as PC races
for SR floating around the net, including one on my page (Which is based
off the Sprite as a critter, rather than the ED Windling).
