Comment (by oaoao):

 This originally started because I wanted to remove and move some of the
 floating elements to the right of the main editing textarea. There doesn't
 seem to be a way to do this gracefully without editing the core code.
 display:none in CSS works for removal to some extent, but the DB/PHP work
 will still happen unnecessarily. I propose that a simplistic hook system
 to either replace or remove each element on the pages would be very
 helpful, lightweight, and backwards-compatible.

 Googling returns lots of threads complaining about lack of admin control
 in WP, so I believe there is some desire out there. Templates would be
 better, but this seems like adequate in the meantime.
