Just be careful that you don't remove too many of them in your efforts to eliminate bloat. For example, last time I checked, the Qt toolkit implements accessibility (e.g. for blind users) in a plugin. How many Qt-based applications are completely, utterly inaccessible to some users just because they didn't ship that plugin? Again, one person's bloat is another persons' necessary feature. Yes, I made a typo the first time; I noticed it too late.
