You may want to add to the list of keys:
"wpsc_cf_position";
"wpsc_cf_layout";
"wpsc_cf_display_title";
"wpsc_cf_title_text"
"wpsc_database_check";
"wpsc_needs_update";
"wpsc_crop_thumbnails";
"wpsc_products_per_page";
"wpsc_force_ssl";
"wpsc_enable_comments";
"wpsc_addtocart_or_buynow";
"wpsc_checkout_unique_names";
"wpsc_australiapost_settings";
"wpsc_ignore_theme";
"wpsc_stock_keeping_time";
"wpsc_stock_keeping_interval";
"wpsc_lightbox";

and then there's also all the _transient options that wpsc triggers from WP
caching as well

I don't see this making it to core, for a few reasons.

E-commerce, whether we like it or not, tends to be resource intensive. That
means, often times, for very little reason at all - people with limited
resources see WSODs and things crash. The first line of debugging is to
remove/deactivate/uninstall WPEC. It's a logical line of debugging.

The problem is that we can't assume every uninstall means someone wants to
remove all their data and start fresh. That, MANY MANY MANY MANY times
(can't stress this enough), is simply not the case. And we will incite so
much wrath if we kill thousands of people's product catalogs, tweaked
settings, etc.

Something like you've already done, the Nuke WP-e-Commerce plugin, is the
way I'd recommend for this feature.

For anyone looking, the plugin is available at

Updated the uninstall.php file to
- remove the additional recommended options from previous poster
- remove options found via a wildcard search/delete for options with wpsc
substring
- remove new tables as of version 3.8.14.1
- flush the wp cache so that the direct database changes will be used
