PH1 features 3 strikers, 2 defenders, 2 leaders, and 1 controller, and features 4 martial classes, 2 divine classes, and 2 arcane classes. And while it looks very likely that future materials are going to 'fill out the grid' for the arcane power source (with the bard and swordmage), we haven't even seen a hint of a divine striker or controller from WotC, and they've said straight out that they think a martial controller is unlikley. So new power sources could easily double -- or triple -- up some roles and leave others uncovered.</blockquote>
