If 'someone' is a active developer, and need a specific modeline for his 
specific editor, let's consider adding it. As long as we don't have more 
modelines than we have of license noise in each file, that's a non-issue 
for me.

If that's useful, just add it.

I'd rather ask the question this way:
- it is currently useful ? slightly
- what's the cost ? almost null
=> no reason to remove them

What's the expected gain ?

This kind of information is usually far less useful when using git. 
However, we're still using subversion, and I don't seen any progress 
moving toward git.
