Some packages should never be removed because many other features take dependencies on them. For example, the ones listed under "Core IDE" should never be removed.
Some features cannot be completely removed. For example, there is no package that can be unregistered to remove Class View and its associated menus, options, and services. The Class View window is provided by the Visual Studio Environment Package, which also provides other key IDE features. If you wanted to remove Class View, you'd also have to remove Find and Replace, the environment Options pages, the Command Window, and the Output window.
