    1. If you are targetting .NET 4
      then you can get rid of a lot of
      this stuff. It would probably be
      easiest to create a brand new MVC
      project targetting 4.0 and look at
      the default web.config there.
    2. If you are targetting .NET 3.5
      everything in here looks pretty
      standard. I’m assuming you are using
      membership, roles, profiles, the
      various namespaces etc. in your
      application.

      You might be able to get rid of some
      of the reference assemblies
      (System.Data.Linq, System.Xml.Linq,
      etc) if you are not using their
      features. You could also probably
      remove the control tag mapping if
      you don’t have any WebForms pages in
      your app.

      If you are deploying to IIS 6 you
      could get rid of the
      <system.webServer> section but you
      might want to leave it in in case
      you ever upgrade the server.
