s/waist/waste/
I would qualify the statement "Don't waste your time stripping" by saying "It doesnt provide a performance or code size benefit to strip" as there are [non-performance] benefits to having a tidily organised using section.

While it might not impact performance, Visual Studio still does a "copy local" on these unused assemblies, which moves them to your bin folder. So if you have automated builds and installer creation, it is hard to avoid including this unused crap in your installer. I haven't managed to find a tool that automates the process of getting rid of unused references though. Any ideas?

ReSharper can remove unused "using" references.

Absolutely right. In fact, we can verify it simply, that is, using Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies() method.

As you say, when we set a reference to System.Data.dll and System.Windows.Forms.dll, but don't use them. if we compile your example code to Assembly file, then we get the information of its referenced assemblies through loading it by Assemlby.LoadFrom(). Now only mscorlib.dll will be listed without System.Data.dll and System.Windows.Forms.dll.
