Are there plans to add biomes to more bodies?

I couldn't really find anything on this. There was a dev post about v0.22 that mentioned future biomes, but that could have just been in reference to Mun and Minimus. Is there a post I've missed somewhere?

Is it really so bad that people need to ask about things like that?

But do not worry! Devs see the problem and will discouss it at some point after the 0.24 release.

I would say: Obviously they will.

What i like about the KSP Dev team is, that they orientate themselves very well, concentrating on completing more and more of the final game mechanics.

The biome system is working and it does what it is intended for very well. Actually adding biomes would fall into the part of content creation.

I myself would love, if the planets and moons would get a little care, but that is not the point at the moment. I see SQUAD rushing toward gameplay completion.

When they reach that goal, every coming update will bring parts, places, missions, audio-visual upgrades and and and... lets give them the space they need to

reach that goal as fast as possible. We all will celebrate that day, and i count SQUAD very much in on that, as that would change their work to the most fun part of game development (right after initial game design).

Oh no! It's great! I wasn't complaining at all. I truly enjoy the exploration aspects of the game. The reason I asked is that I am planning a new Grand Tour and would like to design my build with some foresight, so that if there do become biomes in the future I can be prepared for it. Launching GT class ships on my old laptop takes a long time, so I'd rather not do it more than necessary

Yeah, like Frank_G pointed out, the biome system has been shown to work, so doesn't need more attention while the devs are pursuing "scope completion".

They will almost certainly add biomes to most, if not all, planets and moons in the system, though I don't believe plans for this have been made explicit.

Fair, that's really the answer I was looking for, before I spend the time to build an unneeded ship

As far as I know, there are plans. But I have no idea when they'll add them. They might decide to make some changes to the biome system as it is on Kerbin and the Mun first -- for example, fixing the weird glitches like having Tundra biomes on the equator. Who knows. Just have to be patient and find out, I guess.
