Comment (by andy):

 Deregistration would also be handy for plugins that are deactivating.

 Typically you register post types on init. Some time after that, you get
 the deactivation action. A responsible plugin would remove its rewrite
 rules by flushing. However, it can't undo the registration, so the flush
 doesn't remove the plugin's rewrites.

 The hacky workaround I've used is to just delete the rewrite_rules option
 on deactivation. They will be generated again when they are needed, so the
 only noticeable effect is that the next site view may take a bit longer.
