To expand on this, I think looking for things to remove is generally a pretty 
bad idea, and should be avoided if at all possible - if you must, obsolete 
them so they no longer make sense.  Otherwise, just leave it alone.

I know I get very cranky when someone decides that they know more than me what 
I need and removes something that I've been using.
