The problem with this is that you may be removing extension methods that replaced existing methods in the system.
What you probably want to do is to revert them, but we don't have enough context to tell which version you'd want to revert them to. If you could tell that a certain version came from a given package or package version, that would be easier.
How about an intermediate solution? Envy uses it and IMHO it works quite well.

That's a good approach to remember. It will only work once we have the entire image packaged, however, instead of the situation right now where the vast majority of the code isn't in any package at all.
Wow, that was fast. I got the answer at the same time when my posting came in.
Ah, right! I forgot that there is code which is not in a package. How inconvenient! ;)
Hmm, wouldn't it be easy to convert the existing system categories to Monticello packages. Then you could just reload any of them in case you needed. I have to think about that. Probably I am again forgetting something very basic. It's been a long day.
