--- Comment #7 from Christophe Strobbe <c_strobbe-fdo@yahoo.co.uk> ---
Let's not forget the benefits of context menus:
* Faster keyboard access than menus: as a keyboard user, you select (for
example) a range of text, then hit Shift+F10 to open the context menu. You then
get only options relevant to what you've selected, while opening menus takes
more steps. This also speaks against nesting inside context menus - that would
work against the benefit of having fewer steps to the wanted function.
* Less memory load: the context menu opens a list of functions relevant to what
you selected, so you don't need to remember which menu contains the function
you need. 

I can see two alternative approaches to simple removal of items:
* Rearranging them so the most frequently used ones are closer to the top.
* Making context menus customisable by providing the option to remove items.
However, most users never change settings in their software (I can provide
pointers to research if necessary).
