Hidden Panda on SSC floor

Astela on Maelstrom sent us this shot of the floor in Morogrim Tidewalker's room in Serpentshrine Cavern. It took me a second to see it, but right there in the designs on the floor, you can see a Panda, calling card of one Samwise Didier, one of Blizzard's lead developers (and lead singer of L70ETC).
He's also the creators of the fan favorite Azerothian race we haven't seen in Azeroth yet, the Pandaren (I'm a little disappointed that they didn't show up during Brewfest, actually). Obviously, this is just a hidden Easter Egg done by one of the artists, right? Clearly, this isn't proof that the Pandaren helped build the Coilfang Reservoir or anything like that. Right?
Thanks, Astela!

Yea, I was somewhat disappointed that there wasn't even a MENTION of the Pandaren during Brewfest. It would've been even cooler to SEE one, but creating new humanoid models and animations is a lot harder to do than we think, I'm sure.
We'll see them someday. Probably in the inevitable Maelstrom/South Seas expansion. Although, their physiques are pretty similar to a Tuskarr...

I thought there were issues about it being an endangered species and how the majority of the WoW player-base live in Asia...

Or it could be a case of confirmation bias. Same thing affects people who see images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary on tree bark.

Chinese people get pissy about Pandaren. I bet think they'd it's an insult to have Pandas in-game that support alcoholism.

Could be the Pandarens are that loved by all races (dude's got liquor, how can you not love them?) that even the Coilfang guys put it in there.
