The whole N7 thing, to me, seems pretty superficial. Beyond the logo, nothing really relates to Shepard. I mean, in ME1, you were introduced to the idea of the protagonist becoming a Spectre rather early, and then becoming one became entirely necessary for the plot to continue, so almost immediately, you were now a Spectre, and then lived outside of the Alliance for an entire game, then automatically retained Spectre status in the third. The only time Shepard even talks about being an N7 in the entire trilogy is if he/she talks to Vega about him becoming one.
This is why I don't have any issue with BioWare creating another protagonist affiliated with the N7 program. Truth be told, we really don't know anything about it. Not including DLC, it's rarely ever mentioned and as others have suggested, Shepard being a Spectre overshadowed his N7 status.
I believe it would be a truly compelling story to have an in-depth look at the program and seeing the player work his/her way up the ranks. This would lead to an entirely new experience we have never witness in Mass Effect, while also offering some familiarity.
