This discussion is pointless, but anyway...

Not if the bugs that are left behind are fixed. Which was the whole
point of my initial comment -- rm'ing is easy, the hard part is to fix

You can. It would be a crippled system (especially having in mind
that there's no reason to remove TeX), but you can.
