Could ISO be removed?

When you factor in all the advancements in technology, is ISO really needed any more?  Just keep the setting at awesome, and be done with it.  Personally I rarely touch my ISO and it's kept at 200.

Just remove light and ISO becomes obsolete....

Why so serious?

Um, no. I will also say that you're not really taking advantage of your camera's capabilities.

I can't shoot in a dark club at 200. More like 12800.

No, that wouldn't be possible, IMO ISO is backbone to photography

Why it is merely a guide to how sensitive the sensor is to light at a particular setting. You could call it gain but then there would be no familiar scale. Having an awesome setting would be just another setting I would not want, or use, because how does the camera rate awesomeness?

During lunch with a friend today the subject of ISO invariant sensors came up. While, apparently, Canon has them, Nikon does not. So in some cases, yes, you could "get rid of" ISO in same products, it's not a pervasive thing. And frankly, I don't really see the value.
