2 Strokes are significantly cheaper to develop, build and maintain than 4 strokes which is the reason for all the fucking about with the 250 GP class. If they make it 4 stroke no one will be able to afford to compete.

You can pretty much bet that the likes of Honda will have huge influence in the future of the 250cc class. They've already managed to force the date for changes to be 2012 by announcing they aren't going to make anymore 2 stroke racing bikes after then. Also all the discussions seem to be to move to 600cc engines in prototype chassis. WTF. There isn't a single non-Japanese company that makes a 600cc multi-cylinder bike. As per usual Honda are playing politics to get an advantage (fucked up for them with the move to 800cc MotoGP though heh).
