When creating a new Empty MVC3 Web Application, is there a way to exclude EntityFramework?

Question

Whenever I create a new Empty MVC3 Web Application project in Visual Studio 2010 SP1, it automatically adds EntityFramework and some other packages by default. This is rather annoying when I don't use EntityFramework, nor do I use some of the other items that are "pre-installed" by VS.

Is there a way to customize the project template, without creating a whole new template, so that it doesn't add these by default?

Answer 1

No, but you could create your own template and get rid of all the crap (such as EntityFramework) you don't need.
