Here's a different take on the question.
On the playtest character sheets it suggests to play without background and theme for a more old school feel. I want to be able to follow that suggestion, play the stripped down core system, and play an assassin (or paladin or ranger) all at the same time.
One of the primary design goals for Next is for groups to be able to play in a style similar to any of the earlier versions of D&D. I would like to be able to, at least sometimes, roll characters in 5 minutes and jump in. To do that the choices for character generation need to be real simple and few in number: Race, Class, Ability Scores, and equipment.
