By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Engineers fled from Covenant control towards the end of the war and ended up in the hands of humanity, which is why we have managed to recover within a matter of years after the war. Drones were simply an enslaved race by the Covenant and never really followed its beliefs, which is why they didn't rejoin when Jul reformed it.
Who on earth would want Drones in the game anyway? Every time they've been in they've been horrible to fight against.
That, Chronarch I can agree on, but I would have liked Engineers, like I said in the OP
Ooh, where do you know me from? (Or are you using coup? I don't know, I'm on my iPod) :P
Engineers could have been interesting as an allied mechanic, being able to transform Forerunner terrain - in a similar way that the Didact can make cover disappear, or restructure a tower's platforms on Shutdown. Engineers could have served a similar function to Elizabeth in Bioshock: Infinite.
Thinking about it, this could have been bloody awesome!
