NO modification, keep ID questions off-topic. I'd like that policy to remain as is, a minima for the title of the movie. Here are my points:
I think this policy, despite being perceived as harsh and constraining, is the one that this community needs. Why? Because, having seen how it works for years, my opinion is that identification questions lower the quality level of this stack.
Of course, these questions attract new users and generate some traffic, but these persons, for most of them, won't stay after they get their answer and never contribute again. And we're stuck with one question and answer(s) that will benefit one person only. That is not what SE should be about, what it was built for, a library of knowledge, intended for the many.
Beside that, low quality questions ask for much more work than the average question. I can only rank these as "gimme th3 c0d3" type of question on SO. They're different in essence, but the spirit is the same: I don't know, so feed me with the answer I need, and ciao bambino!
Identification questions are no more than a fun trivia, like the one you can play with family and friends. "Guess who?". "Pict it". And others I don't know. Fun for a while, but not that much.
I know users can set their homepage to ignore the identification tag, but many don't even know that, and I'm pretty sure the vast majority of visitors will see a homepage filled with many ID questions, misleading them about the core of this stack.
ID questions are low-quality items, badly written most of the time, and degrade the overall quality of the stack. They're bad apples that will stain the basket.
I'll probably come with more arguments and more time to write them after work.
