No, if you know what you are doing, there are good reasons to remove it,
or to replace it with a different meta package (such as the -unlocked
variants).

Only those packages should be essential that are required for the
package management itself to work.

For the maemo platform, that might still be a lot: everything needed to
start and use the Application manager (and X-Term?) could be considered
essential.  But the whole OS would be a bit much.
