There are some packages that you should never remove because there are many other features that take dependencies on them. For example, the ones listed under "Core IDE" should never be removed.
In many cases you will not be able to remove an entire feature. For example, there is no package you can unregister to remove the Class View and its associated menus, options, and services. The Class View window itself is provided by the Visual Studio Environment Package, which also provides other key IDE features. In other words, if you wish to remove the Class View, you must also remove the Find and Replace, the Environment Options pages, the Command Window, and the Output Window.
