For posterity (although the table will certainly get mangled).

MOS references to remove options from 10.1:

EM Repository                   278100.1
Oracle Workspace Manager        731576.1
Oracle Ultra Search             283292.1
Oracle Text                     280713.1
Spatial                         179472.1
Oracle interMedia               284573.1, 329600.1
Data Mining                     297551.1
Oracle XML Database             1292089.1
Oracle Java Packages            276554.1
JServer JAVA Virtual Machine    JVM
Oracle XDK for Java             JVM
Expression Filter               JVM
OLAP Catalog                    1060023.1, 565773.1, 1449652.1, 332351.1, 2 SRs
OLAP Analytic Workspace         OLAP
Oracle OLAP API                 OLAP

This added weeks to my upgrade from 10.1 to 11.2.  Yes, some of these, like
Java and XML were added back post-upgrade.  OLAP by far was the worst to
remove, as even the blessed scripts from Oracle Support didn't completely
remove OLAP.  I ended up having to fix the broken 10.1 "deinstall" myself.

I now delete the Oracle-supplied DBCA templates after install.
