The problem is that if you don't use the IBM supplied software, you may have a hard time getting the OS to work properly. I have recently done some installs where I have to use the update connector to get all the drivers, what a PITA and it takes hours.
Sure, though this goes both ways -- ie, you can take Lenovo's install, and figure out what to remove -- or you can clean install, and figure out what to add -- personally, the latter strikes me as a better fit (especially now that newer OS'es tend to be much more compatible with the default drivers as compared to the situation with older OS'es) -- but I certainly respect that others will prefer other solutions.
Since Lenovo doesn't tell you what they changed, it's pretty hard to know what to change back -- plus, I don't trust "uninstallation" to really remove everything...
