I don't think Anet will heavy-handedly cut off race / profession combos, but if each race is better at a particular class, it will effectively do the same thing.
The trick will be to make the races unique with their own bonuses, without making Norn Monks (for example) a "bad" combo.

To put it simpler, Each race would have 5 skills for each of the 10 professions that are unique to that race, meaning 50 class specific skills in total ( but you would only be able to use 10 of them at a time ).
This way all anet has to do is make sure those 50 skills are balanced with the others.

if they're not going to make the races substantially different, i don't see why they're burdening themselves with tons of hair styles, coat (fur) colors, faces, armor, etc
in fact, i doubt we'll even have armor for different professions now, just standard "charr" or "norn" armor

Undecided yet.
But here is my list from most favourite to least:
1.) Norn <I like the northern influence and individualism.
2.) Sylvari <Hard to judge with so little info around.
3.) Human <Always nice to play, but maybe a bit standard since my real-life char is already human.
4.) Charr <Playing as furry monster? No thanks. And Gwen would never forgive me.
5.) Asura <Annoying tiny arrogant creatures. Not my thing.
Professions: Elementalist/mage or ranger.

Charr Elementalist/Monk
Sylvari Mesmer
Even got the names already
Also I totally think anyone who uses the same name as their GW1 character's name should automatically get the title "I'm My Own Grandfather/Grandmother"
Charr Elementalist/Monk

That's very possible, and actually makes some sense. Although it would make PvP harder (is that a Monk or an Ele?) by not limiting armor to specific professions, PvEers should be pleased to be able to get whatever armor they like.
