That is doable, in two ways:
1. Merge xwiki-enterprise into xwiki-platform, move the modules we want
to keep in their new location, delete the modules we don't need anymore.
This requires planning where every module goes in advance, and fixes
everything at once.
2. Extract each module that we want to keep in a separate git
repository, using https://gist.github.com/sdumitriu/1993357 (I need to
update this with a better version), and merge it into xwiki-platform.
This lets us handle each module at a time, but extracting a module takes
a while.

Just some mentions about these removes/moves:
- We moved before things from XE to Platform. It's a pain if you want to
'blame' the source and in the JIRA issue we don't have a link from where
the page was moved from. Tracking the history for a moved page is difficult
and a comment stating where the location was is useful.
- What will happen with the history if we remove the XE repository?
Although the history + the blame use case might not be interesting for
everyone, myself I'm using it often to understand the initial purpose of
the feature, to determine if it's a regression, to know which person to
contact, etc.
Do we have a strategy for keeping the history somehow?
