I suppose in my view it opens everything up even more so you have, in effect, a lot more options that with set races. And a blanket offer of darkvision or a skill is horrible, who would ever not take darkvision???
It depends on the character and the lineage.
I can always use a torch, and the light spell is a cantrip. Plus I might be playing a custom lineage halfling or human so darkvision wouldn't be an appropriate choice for that lineage.
