Here is the problem with creating new playables.

1) SCS asked us not to pursue it

2) The interface and database are coded so that certain things being changed in the database results in a crash.

That's about all I have to say about what I've done to try to verify the "no new playables" restrictions for myself.

I think a lot of people forget that SCX and the SCU were indeed hacks that broke the EULA... the fact that a functional agreement was worked out between the parties doesn't mean it didn't create a very bad situation. Now this was all before my time, but the proof is in the fact that no one centrally involved in the modding aspects of SCX/SCU is still directly involved with SCS or actively a member of Subsim, which, frankly, sucks a big donkey-kong for ALL of us who have any stake in DW.
