In my experience, nothing has been removed or rejected unexpectedly. As long as you follow the guidelines set out in the [Application Certification Requirements](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh184843%28v=vs.92%29.aspx), you should be fine. If an app is rejected, they give guidelines on how to reproduce the problem as well as explain what they expected the app to do, so it's a helpful response.
