Nandroid is your friend. Nandroid will protect you from your own stupidity. Take this from one who knows.

One more question, is it safe to remove unused applications by remounting the file system to r+w, and simply rm'ing them?
If you're removing the APK, it's safe in the sense it won't directly break the system. If the APK is for an essential system app then of course it can be bad.
I'd recommend making a nandroid through clockwordmod recovery before proceeding. Furthermore, I'd recommend using the Freeze option as Captain Ned mentioned before outright deleting. But as long as you do a nandroid backup first, you can't go wrong.

backup/restore -> backup
Or some other thing?
Yay, only 60MB of RAM used after reboot

I ran AOKP exclusively on my Nexus. It's awesome.
You're gonna say it has one flaw then not tell us what it is?

I would like to get some super stable, mandatory apps to reside on /system, where they cannot be uninstalled, and free up disk space, so that I wouldn't have to move apps to /mnt/sdcard, which has it's own share of problems.
