As far as the number of clans goes, it looks like with everything White Wolf these days, five is the magic number - even in Exalted. There sure are a ton of bloodlines, though.

5 has always been a sweet spot in WW's games - with the exception of extremely powerful/old characters, stats are generally limited to either 5 or 10, for example.

And hey, not everything in Exalted comes in 5s. There are only 4 kinds of Dragon Kings
(Since during the period of history when the DKs were created, only Gods were allowed on the Blessed Isle; while there were DKs representing the poles of Air, Fire, Water, and Wood, not being allowed on the Isle meant no DKs for Earth)

Also, there are only 3 circles of Sorcery, Necromancy, and Demons

It'll be interesting to see them break the 5 in the Compass of Celestial Directions when they decide to add Autochthonia by popular demand. All of the first 5 books say right on the back that "These five books..." Well, that's what planning too tight gets ya.

Of course, they could always put Autochthonia in a different book set

Compass of Elsewhere Directions, Volume I?

Ooh, good point.
