switch off DNP PCB parts/area?

I never saw somebody doing that, so i'm curious if that has sense.
Basically i have part of circuit (in my case, only few parts there, capacitor and single phase bridge rectifier) which is optional. But, in case it's not needed, i would rather cut it off and put the device in smaller different enclosure.
In general, that part is marked as DNP so it's by default empty... and, it's such a tiny cost difference that i would rather keep it on board than developing different versions of boards.
Also, i want to avoid board-to-board connectors which would make this optional thing as attachable if needed...
Is that something which makes sense and which is ok to do?
Is there any guidelines how to do that properly?

thnx
