The description “All friendly units on the map temporarily gain increased attack and movement speeds” but actually All friendly units BUT worker unit BUT Mengsk’s and Dehaka’s, meaning workers of the two can still get the speed buff.
So is it a bug or intended here?
Probably bug, Mengsk’s being wholly unique means they probably forgot to go back and tag it.
For Dehaka, there must be some code wonkery where they’re Drones but not Drones. When he came out, his Zerglings were able to harvest minerals, so there was speculation that at some point in his dev cycle they considered using them as his workers.
To be fair, at saturation there would be no extra minerals and only a single digit extra amount of gas (on only some maps, no less), so it doesn’t affect too much generally.

Wait is this not possible anymore? I used to create laughter by having the Zerglings harvest similar to the Ghouls in WC III.
