I imagine some players would begin to put "favorites" in and begin to water down the scenarios in the area of historicity and balance?
Pandora's box should remain closed in certain areas of the game?
Just my two cents.

That is one of the key features of the Campaign Series though, the option to allow players/designers to create a scenario they find fun regardless of how historically absurd it is.
There are large number of new units coming with 1.03, some you will disagree with (and that's ok!). The beauty is these are new units, and will only be available in new scenarios.
There are a couple new features that are also coming that you might disagree with too. While they are relatively minor, they will influence how we play in some scenarios.
Since the OOB dates have been expanded to 1953 I have added a large number of post WW2 organizations and units, particularily for the Americans and Soviets. Of course, there is nothing stopping someone to recreate Kursk 43 (yet again) using T44's, T54's or what have you.
Basically, we are providing the tools to assist anyone who enjoys creating scenarios. We have no control over what they produce; that's not up to us, that's up the players. Successful scenario design will result in the scenario being played, while those that are not successful will not. It doesn't take long to figure out who the designer is that creates scenarios that you prefer to play.
Regarding the scenario selection that was available with EF in the intial release. The BETA BRIGADE came to be after the first Update. The scenarios included with offered and we added them with little testing. With the BETA BRIGADE, the scenarios we are releasing for 1.03 have been tested (primarily the WF ones).
