This is the exact reason it's a: 5 min CD; and a nerfed form of dragon riding.
If anything, they will nerf it even more, because they'd rather have a useless (or close to useless) racial that works in every expansion, than introduce a racial that has to be disabled in future content. It was always like that, and it will continue to be so. And if you doubt that, it means you've started to play this game yesterday.
