What is important is not only to be able to remove code but to learn
what are the missing infrastructure.

For example, removing lot of classes was easy even in 2.8 or 3.0 but
you had the file list which had a lot of references to existing classes.
This is why the filelist registration was introduced this way when  
you unload
a package such as sound, then the file list does not have reference  
to obsolete classes
anymore. So this is really what I would like to learn from your  
experiments.
What are the changes that we should do to help unloading code?
