Actually, the bin/common/ subtree could indeed be removed from luatex
installation. There's only bibtex, kpathsea and some programs that are
really not needed. (There's only a single line to be removed from
mtx-update.lua.)
Concerning fonts - I'll do at least a split "LM" / "all other fonts"
in some not-too-distant-future.

Just send me the list of files.

As Taco answered - yes, until OpenType math support is there, these
fonts are still needed.
