Is it possible to remove built-in Emacs packages like “tetris”? They can’t be marked to be deleted in package list as of 24.1. It would be nice to have a minimal installation of Emacs – even though barely useful – by deleting some or all built-in packages. Is it possible to do somehow, and will this ability added in future?
Emacs should start and be useable even if the whole
lispdirectory is empty (note that we rarely/never test it, so I don’t guarantee that it’ll work, but at least in principle it should and if it doesn’t you should report it withM-x report-emacs-bug). So feel free to remove any and all packages in there you don’t find useful, in order to create a trimmed-down version of Emacs.
