They fulfil no function useful to the encyclopedia that isn't done
equally well by simply stating one's affiliations on one's user page.
They must die.

They fulfil a function, or you wouldn't be bringing it up.  I am against all 
polarising moves on WP, since I think we need to gather in the centre ground 
to do the job. (Like not making centre versus center a big deal, for 
example.)

But I don't think you're going to win on this one.  I would quite agree that 
they are no better than bumper stickers, in many cases.
