One one hand, I'd prefere they keep it, so you'll be able to play ps3 games on the machine.. And because I think the structure, when used properly, is badass.

On the other hand. A lot of people who are not sony, have problems using the structure properly, and a more common structure, will likely allow developers to invest less into making games on the machine.. Since they wont have to figure out how it works first :P

Would the lack of Cell prevent ps3 games from playing?

It wont be backwards compatible anyway, Sony plan to sell PS3 for years and years after PS4 releases just like the PS2
