Being a good or bad idea in general is a different aspect from whether
"remove unused moduls" should be an option to "compress history
stack", or an entirely separate operation.  I do not know what it
should do exactly as a separate operation, which would make it
different from "compress history stack" in a useful way.

That's what I've built it for.  Compressing the history stack always
comes with a loss of information, namely all the settings of all
modules except for their topmost entry on the stack.  I assume that's
the gist of compression.

This option is not about saving disk space, but rather about cleaning
up.

Removing disabled modules should (that's what it's for) loose all
information wrt. a module, iff that module's top-most status is being
disabled, and it thus does not contribute to the final image.  This
includes disabled extra module instances.

It's even undoable.
