I considered using them, but many races already have a large number of them. I didnt want these to get lost in the huge number of abilities. I already have concerns about using Ethnicities, as it uses the primary racial custom. Furthermore, the mechanic is already in use for humans, and elves.
The only difficulty is modifying the base race statistics, height, weight, age and similar is quite a pain, especially for some converted material since 3.5 had two different sets of statistics for male/female height/weight. I wished to be as loyal as possible to the source material. Yet, reduce the amount of trash races filling up the race chooser.
Sofar I've been able to replace a total of 26 races by using this system, which should streamline things.
