As for mounting, just have them sit side saddle on the mounts that require it
Why would you force one race to sit side saddle when the rest, even the wolves, don't?

Because the rest of the races actually have legs to fit over a saddle, while Naga don't have a split down there? And could always go with the idea that they would wrap their tail around the body too.

Nagas could possibly playable at some point as well, but not until Azshara goes down; as the Naga stand now, they are all in love with their Queen and will lay down their lives for her no matter what. We've only ever seen one Naga who went against her, and the Heretic was ape &*!@ insane.
I would tend to think that Azshara is being saved for a truly epic raid tier in some future expansion given her position, importance and relationship with Sargeras, putting the odds of playable Naga at slim to nil.

Easy, Fel Reaver race for horde, and ally can have the naga and the furbolgs all together.

I would switch to Horde just to play a Fel Reaver.
They remain one of the reasons why Outland is my favorite continent.

I would love to see Ramkahen be a race. You would not need a mount, you're half cat, half horse. Starting area could be an Island right outside Uldum.

1) Tuskarr
2) Oracles (Alliance) and Wulvars (Horde)
3) Mantid (Not Alliance nor Horde, but a new faction unto themselves)
Hmm, probably in that order.

lllllllllet me explain why furblogs are a bad idea. they slotter humans and use there faces has hide for there tents. dont believe me? look it up. as far as my idea for future races i would think of somethings that ties in with lore. i could see naga joining the horde becouse the horde would want to eleminate the night elves from kalimbdor and the night elves and naga are enemys (even though naga are ancient night elves) and i could see for alliance the murloc. the murloc were kinda like the peasents for the naga but dont really work with them much anymore. there underwater abilitys can add a strategic value to the alliance so i can see wrynn and his son agreeing with it. though not so much with the night elves.

murloc + naga in same expansion will probably tie in with the alliance and horde discovering some new land on azeroth with lots of see travels and maby even an addition of guild boat world pvp were we can travel on a boat and defeat enemy ships.

Nah, if they only go 5 levels again next expansion, it will probably be with her as the second in command to the Big Bad N'zoth.

Would like to see Ogres added to the Horde, they already have a history of cooperation with the orcs especially. Wouldn't be completely ridiculous lore-wise either if Rexxar can sort out whatever he has going on with his dad and the rest of the Mok'Nathal Clan.
Not sure which other races at the moment, maybe High Elves for the Alliance.
I don't think Naga will happen, I just don't see them joining either faction before Azshara has been defeated. They are both too devoted to their queen and too strong in number.

Also this doesn't solve the legs and feet armor slots issue. Not only will shoes be impossible, but Blizz would have to rethink the models for every 'legs' slot item in the world.Tail caps for feet, kilts for legs; problem solved. After all, Draenei, Tauren and Worgen all just get half-boot things when they equip foot ware.

Didn't we have this conversation last year or the year before? I seem to recall a pages long diatribe. OP demanded playable High Elves and was adamant about the unacceptability of shoeless races or those which couldn't mount with one leg on each side. It was rather funny how much that guy twisted himself up in rage.

You do understand how much the code would have to be changed, right? All that happens for Tauren and Trolls is that the shoe-part is ignored and the ankle-bracelet part remains. And all they did for Worgen and Drenai is replicate the Tauren effect. And even that's a bother. Imagine creating a separate model for EVERY legs and feet item ingame to make them look like kilts and Tail caps.
Yeah....it's not like they've ever done that for any race or anything, what with the fact that there are already are separate models for each race out there depending on what is and isn't worn based on the races body type(oh look, Broken in Plate gear).
Even then, if it comes down to it, they could just say 'okay, they still get the effect even if they aren't wearing it visually'. The only issue I have with playable Naga is a Lore issue, and that issue can be addressed once we actually take down Azshara; until that point, the Naga wouldn't be 'free' to join a faction, since the entire race(except for one guy) has been slavishly devoted to their Queen for more then 10 thousand years.
As for the mount thing: Look at all races on an Elekk, or look at a Draenei on any other race; we've already know there is clipping issues, so that's not really a thing that's holding back a playable naga either.

Leper Gnomes and Mag´Har for Horde, high elves and broken dranei for Alliance.
