Add hook to create_initial_post_types()

[mikeschinkel]

I'd like to propose that create_initial_post_types() in wp-includes/post.php have a filter called 'initial_post_types' (or something else) that will allow a hook to remove default post types and/or modify the attributes of post types before they are registered. I've included a patch to illustrate. The same could be done with the post statues but doing so is a bit more complicated so I didn't implement that in case the core devs hate the idea.

As suggested by dd32 from #9674 I created this new ticket.

Update to /wp-includes/post.php to add a filter called 'initial_post_types'

Thank you! :)

Not blessing it per se, but 3.0 would be the time to review this.

We're in feature freeze, Approaching Beta in the near future, This is an enhancement and is not a regression over the previous release. Moving to 3.1 for now.

The addition of the custom post_types to 3.0 has been of benefit, but mearly filtering these post_types is not all that needs to be done to prevent certain post types from being invisible to WordPress.

This would be better fixed in 3.1 as the post_type api and internal use matures.

Replying to dd32:

Agreed. Better to do this one well vs. quickly.

I think we still have a long ways to go decoupling the core taxonomies and core post types...

I was just reviewing my tickets, and this was (partially) addressed in prior version but this ticket was never updated.

HOWEVER, and this does need to be addressed, create_initial_post_types() is called TWICE. See #19692.
