Actually , it's a patch applying a major upgrade in this case.
I was led to believe this might be possible by an error message that pyro gives
when you try to remove a component from a feature in the patch:
"Removing component '{0}' from feature '{1}' is not supported. Either the
component was removed or the guid changed in the transform '{2}'. Add the
component back, undo the change to the component guid, or remove the entire
feature."
That last bit seems to indicate that removing an entire feature is allowed.

Sounds like you are doing a small update. If so, no. See:
