on that note : should Klingons really stay?

I feel it's a bit of an insult to them as a concept, yes they were enemies but to label *every* Klingon as such is kind of bad taste.. especially since even at their worst most Klingons have a very strict code of honor and are disgusted by violations of it (for example they will attack other Klingons if the Klingon dishonors the Empire by slaughtering innocents etc.. they are warriors on the whole, not mindless monsters).

original series Klingons were less honorable because of the Augment Virus but even they were a far-cry from a purely "evil race" : I feel Trek made itself unique for *not* having alien races be purely evil or good.. it was individuals that were judged (with rare exceptions for things like Borg, Malon and other more traditional "evil" races (even they have good factions) ).

I can see an argument for Romulans staying as they were designed from the start as "evil Vulcans" and remained that way for a *long* time but Klingons just strike me as too complex to really be lumped together as a "bad race that got redeemed".
