Most features are already extracted as extensions and can be removed if not 
wanted. However removing others can not be done without touching almost all 
parts of TYPO3.

I think it would be better if we could update or extend the Install Tool to 
at least have a wizard to select the wanted modules and maybe even to remove 
the module (but thats also possible with EM).

I do not think that the TYPO3 core contains that many features that can be 
extracted to further modules, without cripling TYPO3 too much.

Maybe some of the frontend stuff can be extracted further, but the system 
extension "frontend" looks pretty clean already. I wonder if we can make it 
more standalone to support projects that do not need the default frontend.
Same is true for the backend - which is already rather modular.

IMHO the kind of configuration utility you are wanting to create exists 
already with the extension manager.

Best regards
