FeaturesRemovedFromServerCoreContainer

Mar 12, 2018 update: due to issues found internally, we added back 2 features:

Printing-Client
Windows-Defender-Features

-------
In the recent blog we shared that we removed a number of features to further reduce the size of the Windows Server Core container base image.
