Are the missing images going to be returned/replaced? All images of the Hadozee have been removed from all digital versions, even the monster stat blocks. I was already disappointed with the product, but permanently removing content AFTER I purchased it is unacceptable.
Those of you wondering asking about the images of the Hadozee: they were removed because they played into racist tropes about Black people. I am hopeful that WOTC will replace them with art that does not, but I have no inside info about that.

Are you guys working on a way to homebrew vehicles? I have noticed that, when trying to use a spelljamming helm as a template for a homebrew item, it does not appear.

Really? The Spelljamming Helm appears as a template for Homebrew Magic Items for me?
Do you have the sourcebooks purchased? Currently, I am part of a campaign with an account part of the Master tier. So Spelljammers is currently shared with me. I guess it is to do with the sourcebooks purchased.

I do have the book. I believe you only have access to homebrew templates for content you own. I don't believe content sharing applies for homebrew creation.

This is correct. You can only use it as a homebrew template if you actually have the license yourself, not if it's just shared with you. That doesn't stop you from using the closest template that you do own, and using what you can read to modify the other template.
Welp, if they were planning on rewriting the hadozee lore I imagine they would have announced it by now. Which means they're probably not going to update or reupload the ship art either. It looks to me like they'll do all the PR stunts that won't cost them anything, and conveniently go silent on any reparations that would cost them money, like rewriting the lore and redrawing the artwork. I'd like to be proven wrong, but with how low quality parts of the book are, my hopes are not high.
Yes, the Hammerhead artworks has at least three of them (though they are indistinct) and the Flying fish image has two Hadozee diving of it, in both these cases the artwork for the Hadozee is very different to the more "offensive" art that is being shown all over the web.
The only reason I have digital versions of these images is because I am making a Fantasy grounds Module for myself (converting it to Savage Worlds), I assume the official modules for Roll20/FGU/Foundry (if they exist I know the FGU one does) have been told to remove the images?
The Hadozee have been around since 1982 (Star Frontiers RPG - they were called Yazirian back then), why they felt the need to change their back story for 5E I do not know :S

Money.
They believe, probably correctly, that the more profitable choice was to rewrite the back story given the current climate.
Since they are a business and not a charity, while it irks me, I cannot fault them for doing the fiscally prudent thing.
It's a game, and at my table the backstory for any given race is what it is at my table, no matter what official sources say, so it is nothing to get terribly upset about.

Where have they stated that they're going to rewrite it? Also, we lost all the hadozee artwork *and two spelljammer artworks*, content that we paid for.
My app won't update the book, it keeps topping at 50% and I can no longer access the content!

What happened to the flying fish and hammerhead ship art? I paid for that content, and now it's gone.
They were probably removed for having Hadozee in them.
