Elves, dwarves and the like still have unique abilities that aren't ability mods or free proficiencies. Stonecunning, fey ancestry, breath weapons, infernal legacy all still exist and are parts of a characters build, just it's a less important part, especially since the choice point no longer "I could take x race and get abilities that synergize with my build, or y race which doesn't but fits my character" to "I want to play x race, how do I modify it to make it less redundant with my class?"That said, I imagine that they could, in a hypothetical 6e, trim back the number of options down in terms of classes and races and opt for more customizable options. But I don't see them removing it utterly.</blockquote>
