non duplicate races, game design choice?

[Pocus]

I always wondered why it was not allowed in Doms I, and wont be too in Doms II, to have duplicated races in a same game.

I suspect it is a game design choice, and not a technical one. But I fail to get strong arguments against having duplicates... on the one hand perhaps too many people would play the same races (but it seems that most people have a differing prefered race), on the other hand it would lend to even funnier scenarios to be set.

is it a feature which can * possibly * makes its appearance in a patch, someday ?

Would some of the IW team care to elaborate ?
