 Here are the use-cases I've identified from prior projects:

 - Change the values for menu/post type visibility or just disable post
 types provided by a plugin/theme that are not needed for a specific site.
 - Add new plugin/theme specific "supports" for default post types and
 custom post types that don't explicitly specify supports.
 - Add new plugin/theme specific values to support  plugin/theme added
 features. For example, 'my_exporter' value could be set to information
 that the My Exporter plugin uses to implement an export such as columns to
 include, column labels, WP_Query args for default export as well as meta
 fields to include.
 - Disable default rewrite rule addition so customized rewrite rules could
 be added in a function called for the 'registered_post_type' hook.
 - Disable default metabox callback registration so customized metabox
 callback registration could be performed in a function called for the
 'registered_post_type' hook.
 - Disable taxonomy registration for object so customized taxonomy
 registration for object could be performed in a function called for the
 'registered_post_type' hook.
