In the pre-source control days they were the answer to the GPLv2 Section 2 requirement to " carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change." If you remove the files you may run afoul of the GPLv2 Section 1 requirement to "keep intact all the notices that refer to this License". Of course, nowadays we assume the source control does this for us, so people rarely think of these requirements, but for files that predate source control I think you need to consider the licence implications.
