I would support it, and even volunteer for being killed (even though nobody may believe it), as long as the method of killing a person is quick and absolutely painless.
There's only one major problem: Human nature.
Everyone would want to be one of the 10% that are not killed. Everyone getting a pink slip would instantly protest against it. Humans are just too damn selfish to do such a thing. I guess even if it would prevent judgement day from happening, everyone would just say "As long as I can't live on, everyone else can die, too, I don't care"
And just in case:
Although I'm criticising human nature here, as if I weren't human, I am, and I'm probably no better than the majority of people. But I surely would volunteer for such an act, if it really would be necessary.
