Comment (by johnbillion):

 I'm currently looking into whether it's workable to unregister the 'post'
 post type on a site. Two related issues I've found with unregistering post
 types:

  1. Any associated taxonomies should probably also be unregistered when
 unregistering a post type.
  2. The 'Right Now' dashboard widget has hardcoded output for posts,
 pages, categories and tags. These should only be shown if the
 corresponding post type / taxonomy is actually registered. I suspect there
 are other areas like this, this is the first one I've noticed.

 You'd only need `remove_menu_page()` in there if you were unregistering a
 post type after the menu has been built. I'd say -1 on this, you should
 unregister post types on the 'init' hook (albeit probably with a later
 priority than normal).
