 I'm reminded of BuddyPress' component administration here, in which end-
 users can easily enable/disable BP components.

 End-users who don't want a blog on their site and just want to use WP as a
 CMS seems like a large demographic in my mind (no data to reference
 though), and giving the ability for an admin to enable / disable seems
 like a reasonable idea, while also supporting the "WordPress is more than
 just a blog" movement.
