Yeah, we really don't know much about the crew. Some of the banter is frequently favorable to "Lawson and Shepard", but who knows how far that goes. That one guy in the crew quarters was saved by Shep, but his whole family was saved by Cerberus. On the other hand, the engineering duo (to judge from Shep's conversations with them) seemed to have an interest and care for Shepard's actions and views before Cerberus came along. But aside from them, the Doc, certain squadmates, and Joker (and probably Chambers), the status of the crew approaches an opaque haze. Makes room for future plot or settings changes, I guess (or even if not, nevertheless, again, the Normandy crew was clearly bound to Shep, but that didn't stop the designers from just offing Shepard and dispersing any survivors!).

Aside from that, there is still the question of EDI, and the issue of that particle, direct-connect to the Illusive Man in the Comm room. Kind of a weird thing to keep in the trunk if you never want to deal with that guy again. As for EDI, I don't think I fully trusted her until I read that dialogue between her and Legion in LotSB.
