Grey Dragons were mentioned in Fortress of the Stone Giants.There are also all the other septs mentioned, like abomination dragons, with such enticing names as hoarfrost, rot, ruin, rust, and suffocation. There are also humor dragons, with choleric, melancholy, sanguine, and phlegmatic. Also, there are mineral dragons, with coal, pyrite, silicon an sulfur. Thaumaturgic dragons are also mentioned, being abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, and transmutation. Lastly, we have sin and virtue dragons, which are said to be antithetical. From the Triaxus entry from People of the Stars, there are sky-preists, vapor boars, kokogiaks, and poet-whales.Most of those dragons have probably been retconned out of existence. Mike McArtor's early work on Golarion's dragons isn't really in line with Mr. Jacobs's current vision for Golarion.
I wonder if they could retcon some of those dragons into drakes? I mean come on, don't the Abomination and Humor dragons sound awesome?
Well, they keep coming out with new flights each time a bestiary comes out, what with the Esoteric Dragons in B5. I'd like to see Abomination dragons come up. Not sure about the humor dragons, though. Those to me seem like they'd best be set up to be drakes. The Thaumaturgic ones don't really fly well with me, nor do the sin/virtue ones, but that's in part because I feel they'd both be better served being one and the same a la Thassilon, and even then, aren't metal/chromatic ones already espousing opposing ideologies of good and evil already? The mineral dragons sound cool but I feel primordial dragons kind of fill that role already. If anything, they'd be better served being types of elementals.
Also, also, a dragon being limited to one school of magic would be silly since true dragons gain increasingly powerful magical abilities already.

School meaning abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, and transmutation. Thye're the categories that spells fall under, with spells like fireball being evocation and spells like polymorph being transmutation, and so on.
