Clean and Simple has nothing to do with making room - it's the most wasteful of space of all the custom ROMs. I mean, seriously, if you want a clean and simple ROM your goal is stability at the expense of extra software. Extra memory shouldn't be a concern for you.
And no, you don't get to use the extra space that all that left-out software occupied - it's just wasted.
But I will say this...if you're a clean and simple kind of person, then WM6 is not for you. Maybe in a couple of years.

Gguruusa, no offense taken, we are all here to educate and be educated. I do not proclaim to know everything nor even alot. I only speak on what I have tried and works for me.
With that said, I have tried several custom ROMs and I have went back to the one I mentioned earlier because of the stability and the preformance of it. Most of the hacks I do to the phone (to increase performance and stabilty) are already done in the ROM. But sure, there are still a few that I have to do manually.
I have flashed many phones and I have never had any issues out of this ROM. I do however have a second phone which I test things on and it is currently up to WM6. Do I like it? No, I do not. Even though I am appreciative of the work put into it and its release, I know it still has too many bugs for me at this time.
You asked a Q of what room do I think is really being cleaned up? I am referring to Memory Storage space and Memory Program space. Either way though, it does supply the advantage of not having all the crapware and paves me the way to install what I want.
Sure, if I use WM6 (with a lot of the apps already built-in) I can delete the link in \Windows\Start\Programs and pretend it isnt there. I can also remove the .lnk or .exe from starting up but that doesnt actually remove the application from the ROM itself.
So this is why I continue to use the ROM that I do. These are only my personal decisions and reflections.
