RE: Dumb Question?
From what KR has said, I'd say, "yes" it will have the traits available today, and the same chance it always had for the eyes and shade.
If that chance was "always" then, yes, it will have one of the currently-available furs and other traits, and "always" have the eyes and shade.
Look to the original announcement. If it said something like "a chance to carry" the eyes and shade, you'll have the same chance, now, you had then. If it said "will carry" then it will still carry them.
My confusion, now, comes from recalling earlier guidance which lead me to believe that special collection traits were only in the collection's starters and not in the general, generic starters; but KR's comments seem to imply they'd be there, as well.
I've seen comments in the old announcements that some traits: would never be in generic starters; were not, at the time, and might never be; etc.
I'm not sure that this fine point needs clarification. But it would be good to know which traits can appear in generic starters, which could only appear in special collection starters, etc. And *that* is something I think is best left for *US* to discover, which is why I made the suggestion it might be good to start collecting it.
Frankly, while it's important that we know, now, with certainty, that the non-special traits in a box are selected from those available at the time the box was first rez'd, I don't think it's important to know when a trait moves from special-only status, to generic status. In fact, I don't even think it's important for us to know when traits are retired. Those are all things the community can discover and keep track of.
