Kinda hoping we don’t, honestly. I’d be fine if they were backend only, or just gone completely.

I'm good with them just being shiny internet points, I don't want them factored into anything.

As useful as the paid blue check marks in Twitter.

I hope kbin will completely get rid of it.

It's nothing but a popularity contest. We don't need that here.

I'm fine with keeping them soley as an indicator that I'm contibuting in a positive way to the community.

I also use it to decide on how much effort I'll put into discussions with other users. If a user I'm talking with has a consistently low or negative reputation then they are more likely a troll or combatative person who is really not worth wasting your time in engaging with in detail.
