The question is what do you gain by removing it?

It's a best practice. Remove anything is not strictly needed.
One of worst problems of Red Hat is that its installation leaves a lot of un-needed packages, anytime I lose a lot of time cleaning my system by "rpm
-e", only recently I solved using a customized kickstart file.

Safely remove redhat-lsb, perl, gcc and any other package you don't need!



Whose best practice? The NSA would disagree with you.

If memory serves, they only recommend removing X Windows.
