I would prefer new core races. I'm not a big fan of half races, especially half-orcs and half-elves (IMHO a couple of fantasy tropes that can stand retirement).
However, a couple side-bars on how to implement a half-race (one for half human and humanoid, and one for mutually non-human humanoids) would be much more useful IMHO. This way half-breed's don't end up as being a seperate race and remain as the occassional exception. Better yet, instead of side-bars, devote a chapter to creating half-races in the DMG.
