 It's very easy to stop displaying the captions on the blog. Registering an
 empty shortcode that returns the <img> tag would do it (the <img> tag is
 the content of the [caption] shortcode).

 Not so easy to disable the adding of captions when inserting or editing an
 image in the editor though. Of course it can be done with another checkbox
 in the user's settings, or a checkbox/cookie from js, but that would make
 it harder for themes/plugins. They will have to support both states,
 disabled and enabled, as it would be an user setting.
