My gut reaction is to keep them, but I think that's just because I don't like change.
If you do decide to drop them, it might be nice if something different was done for the time-displaying. I keep thinking the minute count in the comment header (pg 22 minutes ago | link) refers to points (pg 22 points [random text] | link). I still feel like jerf's comment (9 minutes ago) has more points than skennedy's (4 minutes ago), even though I know it's not actually true.
Although I'd probably get used to it within a month--it's just an annoying thing during the transition.
