I think it's an important one. A lot of expected products will be world
settings (like the Chaosium Elric! product) that contain none of the
standard races (except humans). Others might wish to create a 'sword and
blaster' style Edgar Rice Burrougs game, again with totally new races and
classes. Likewise, the Deadlands conversion book will not overlap much with
the standard class/race combos.
