With Indian and South Korea onboard in the future, you're looking at over 20. While I don't think there are many fans out there who are opposed to a return for the USGP, the number of races on the calendar is the perfect ammunition for those who are out there to throw at fans such as myself. The amazing thing about it all is that, with a little logistical planning, I believe F1 could easily accomodate 22-23 races a year. Start by getting Bernie to pair his precious Abu Dhabi project up with Bahrain on a flyaway- that will save a few weeks right of fthe bat. Then start the season a few weeks earlier, and stretch it into November if need be. I go along with the logic that the 3-week break is a long layoff for fans, but if the teams really cherish it that much, it can be preserved with some planning.
