No. People play Jedi in large numbers because that is what they enjoy. Why punish the majority to appease the elitist minority? Plus, this is the Old Republic time period, there are alot of Force users running about, both good and bad. Just because some very vocal SWG crackpots want to enforce their Galaxies-centric view of TOR doesn't mean they should be listened to.
We have so little information right now on the game, I hate to say anything about what they should be doing when they very well may be doing it. Personally, I think its a mistake if they only have one Jedi and one Sith Force user class. Going by their own previous game design, they have melee Jedi, caster Jedi, and a hybrid of the two. This would certainly go a long way to balancing out class population issues.
