One of the things introduced in the 5e PHB is the notion of common races (human, dwarf, elf, halfling) that are assumed to be present in 'every' campaign and uncommon races that may or may not be.
My suggestion for 5e Essentials would be to do much the same for classes - assume that the Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, and Wizard are found in 'every' campaign, but that other classes may or may not be. This then provides scope for other campaigns to introduce new classes of more specific utility, and indeed to replace some of the existing classes with local classes that fit better. And by encoding the split into the books, they also make it easier for the DM to sell the absences.
