The consensus was that they are virtually obsolete. What you need to avoid is placing session ID parameters in your URLs. Don't name a query string parameter "ID" as in "?ID=3423433". For CF don't append your CFID and CFTOKEN vars. Bots will receive a new session for every page request, so they could get caught in a loop if they accept URLs with these vars. This is main issue they are cautious of.
Do a search in google for "inurl:productID" (no quotes) and you'll see the SES URLs are going the way of the Dodo.

Daniel, I'm interested in where you come down on the debate about whether SES URLs really matter to search engines these days. Any thoughts?
