Hi all. I'd like to point out a small issue I've come across while making a Ranger character.
Using the core Favored Enemy feature for a Level 1 Ranger, I noticed several humanoid playable races are missing from the humanoids list:
Aarakocra
Aasimar
Changeling
Firbolg
Genasi
Gith
Goliath
Grung
Kalashtar
Kenku
Leonin
Locathah
Loxodon
Minotaur
Owlin
Shifter
Simi Hybrid
Tabaxi
Tiefling
Tortle
Triton
Vedalken
Verdan
Warforged
Yuan-ti Pureblood
I understand some of these are recent additions (such as the Owlin), or 'source-specific/exclusive' races (like the Ravnica races, or the Tortle), but some like Tieflings and Goliaths have been in 5e for a very long time, and are 'core' playable races that can be found pretty much everywhere in most settings.
Thus, and despite knowing it's a small issue in the grand scheme of dndbeyond features, I would like to see these races be added to the list of humanoids. I'm happy to get an answer as to why they aren't though, if there is an intentional reason for some (or all) of those races.

Or, at least allow a fill in the blank, so it can handle homebrews that would never appear on that list. I'm personally ok with an incomplete list, as not all campaigns have all races, and I wouldn't want that to tie to a dm's library for a complete valid list if the fill in the blank was an option.
