Just leave the name as it is, since you're not actually dropping the other
components but just not building packages from them. The source still
contains "all" components.
Which leads to another question. Since the source is there, somebody found
the component to be useful for something (or he wouldn't have written it).
What makes you so sure nobody else uses the components you want to leave
out?
