Races already, post-Essentials, got an alternate stat, so one +2 and choose another from 2, so every race covers half the stats. This would just be expanding that to any stat, so shouldn't be crazy. You do want to watch out for feat support that some races got to make them extra-good at classes they didn't formerly have the stats for - that already happened to the Dwarf when STR was added as an alternative after they'd already gotten lavish fighter feat support, for instance.
I'd say just go ahead and give them the second +2. Maybe +2 from STR/DEX/CON and +2 from INT/WIS/CHA, or +2 WIS (since none of the PH races have that yet in your version) and +2 any (it'd also make fighters particularly good Paladins & Clerics, which'd be evocative of D&D tradition, as, back in the day, only humans could be PC clerics & pallies).
