I think that herds really only make sense if there is some kind of
coordinated team effort behind them. Otherwise they're little more
than another form of category and a black hole for bugs to go into.
Certainly a few herds are active in this way, but it seems like the
majority are not. Where they are not we should get rid of them,
unless a team steps up to actively maintain them (defining a project,
electing leads, etc).
