I know for a certain that the magnitude of people who opposed badges in Avatar Wiki, which, though not the majority, was quite large. It included me, of course. Achievements create the pretense that they rank the users, and are quite prestigious. They're not, they're pretty useless and unnecessary. We do have a 4-1 majority consensus on removing badges, but I don't mind otherwise. I just want to make it clear to all new users who might come later than badges are worthless.
