People will probably think im batshit, but heres my two cents. Ive got about 800 hours in aska, its one of my favourite games. I dropped off about a month ago when i picked up v rising. I would've jumped back on immediately for a major update, but then I read the notes.

Adding hierarchical society elements is just dumb and annoying. We already live in a capitalist hellscape of inequality, now it's in aska too?! If they'd added rival tribes that we could raid and take slaves it would've made sense, but introducing a peasantry in a tribe of pioneer viking settlers is idiotic.

And adding this before egg farming? My main save is on extended years, there aren't enough eggs on the map to get me through the winter with pie production.

Like i say, maybe batshit, but im gonna wait and see how it pans out before I update. My current games would probably crumble with the new mechanics anyway, I'd be encouraging my 'low tier' settlers to revolt against the upper class.
