Should There Be a Way to Remove Emblems?

I saw this post on Mark Rosewater's Tumblr account, and I I believe that there should not be a way to remove emblems, because WotC devised emblems as a way to more easily portray a permanent change to the game state, as originally written on Elspeth, Knight-Errant, and I do hope that the majority of players shall agree, with me, about this.
What does everyone else say, about this? Should there be a way to remove emblems? I certainly am interested to hear what everyone else has to say, on this subject.

The post alludes to a way to interact with emblems (not necessarily remove). This could be like a 100 different mechanics such as Ascend. Where, if you have Ascend (ten or more permanents), this card gives X effect.
They could have another planeswalker set like War of the Spark. The planeswalkers could create emblems easily that do next to nothing but interact with other spells and permanents (like Ascend and others) for a bonus effect.
Though this speculation, I find extremely doubtful but "It is a possibility."

You can remove aan emblem. Just use the -14 of Karn Liberated.

I could see cloning emblems. Useful for things like Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and Venser, the Sojourner
, but a bit winmoar in the latter case.

In no way does that post stipulate removing emblems. Mark has been very clear on his stance with emblems staying in play
