Why not?

[HaonRekcef]

One reason that speaks against it is that we would have to cover a lot of move orders, as black can basically play any move

i think the moves are fixed here if going with the order e3 d5 d3

[HaonRekcef]

Is the cow not defined by the knights going to b3 and g3, or is it already enough to go with e3 d3. What about black playing the cow?

[ryathom57]

If this is added, and I see the Alien Gambit is added, should other trendy openings be added to, such as the Wagon Gambit?

It's a slice of chess history, whether silly and ephemeral or not.
