Yes, I would favour this.  The fact that you can remove a player
-- including all the player's cities and units -- part way through 
a game seems bizarre to me...  Eg, one moment the Americans have
conquered most of the planet, the next they vanish completely...

(But if you did want to keep that "feature", you could also just 
"kill" the player, without renumbering.  The only small disadvantage 
would be not freeing up a player slot (eg, for civil wars.))
