When is the tropical biome update coming?

Version 26.4 is confirmed to include the Ice Cave, and a new dimension called "The Sift" has been confirmed for addition in 2027. However, I think it's high time Mojang updated the tropical biome. The three biomes that lost in past biome votes—Desert, Savanna, and Badlands—have still not been implemented (the only biome to be implemented after losing a vote was the Swamp, and the only mob to be implemented after losing a vote was the Copper Golem). It is likely that Mojang has either long since forgotten about it or has a policy of intentionally not implementing it. If they are ignoring it intentionally, then the tropical biome remains exactly as it is—with the savanna seeing only the addition of armadillos, and the desert changing little beyond the addition of a hidden room (containing suspicious sand) to the desert temple. If that is the case, it means the tropical biome update will never happen, and perhaps all the features originally mentioned during the biome vote have been scrapped.

  Personally, I think leopard geckos, iguanas, and tortoises are the reptiles best suited for Minecraft.
  Leopard geckos are popular reptiles kept as pets, and since they naturally inhabit harsh environments like deserts, they would make a fitting unique mob to add to desert or badlands biomes.
  Tortoises (especially giant tortoises) and iguanas (especially marine iguanas) are, like sea turtles, endangered species; I believe they should be included to help raise awareness about this.
  Incidentally, depending on how you look at it, if snakes were to be added as neutral mobs, they could potentially be used for things like crafting new types of potions.
