I have to admit, I'd very much miss the hygiene motive. It's already so easy to stay on top of your motives, and for me hygiene as a motive adds a very interesting measure of immersion, and as mentioned by many before, a reason to actually get out of your department and use a part of the station that's not very often traveled. It's the only motive that isn't solved by running two feet to the nearest vending machine, buying three fries for what might as well be zero money, and devouring them all before going back to your station.
I do understand everyone's points about how it gets in the way of RP, and I'd understand it's removal, but I for one will very much miss it if it does go. To me, it really adds to the feeling of being an actual, genuine person living and breathing in this space station.
