Oh yes! That will all be turned back on in their current broken state (I'll fix the talents that were not working as well). I'm pretty sure it was just a 1-2 line toggle that has them disabled in the web release.
I'm not planning to tackle races right off the bat (want to get some momentum going on adding new content finally), but I will be doing a first pass on races some time in the nearish future.
*edit* err I might have misread your comment, I'll be turning them back on for the Early Access version. I don't want to include stuff in the web release that is obviously broken. For Early Access I'm more comfortable including them in that state since its well... Early Access.
