desert trader

Has the desert trader been considered to become a full villager like Sandy? She could be a bit of a nomad type character like Linus (but more adventurous, less hermit). I know that SDV is likely not getting any major updates, but this is one that would make the game feel more complete to me.

What are the best ways to get it. Trading with prismatic shards, or haunted skulls in the quarry mine with burglar ring (0.13% chance without the ring). Please help me I need that inferior rock candy that gives +5 luck.

The two tiles right next to the desert trader hut are solid to player collision with no obvious reason why. Particularly annoying because they make the path one tile width and consequently not traversable by horse.
