Getting rid of the stupid number of subraces is a VERY good place to start. If your games honestly needs a racial distintintion between dwarves who live in hills and those who live in mountains your game is uber nerd rage inducing menutia devoted pointless blithering shit.
And I can respect that. I can respect going 'And this an elf. Their is no other sort of elf. This elf is an elf elf.'
Of course, I like magic. I like having all sort of different types of the same thing. I like the millions of sorts of dragons, playing a video game and finding a pallette swap of a previous enemy with its own plethora of awesome color-coded effects excites me and I like that you can't traverse a biodome in DnD without finding at least one new sort of elf.

I think it'd be better to rebalance all the basic races. They should all complement their favored class and have no more than four or five racial traits [none of which should be stupid +2 skill bonuses or similar bullshit]. But I play 4e, so maybe that's just me.
