I believe there's usually a lot more to it. At Blizzcon when the dragonfly was announced, it was probably little more than concept art and some model artist prototypes, and the developers had likely not seen very much either. What seems good on paper may simply not turn out to be feasible in practice. The artists make modifications, and suddenly what the developers thought would be a new family are just like other wasps. So then they're left trying to think of an alternative. Clearly most of us don't think that rylaks are a good choice of alternative, and maybe they'll come up with something else yet, but I don't think they're taking an easy path simply so they can head out for beer or something.
personally, I'd rather see them just combine the chimeras and rylaks, and the ravagers and sillithids, and promise us a new family/model in patch 6.2 or something.
Really, with the removal of pet CC, and the streamlining of abilities, we really don't need the number of families that we have now. All we really need is new models...
