Comment (by dd32):

 I personally think that this should be left up to plugin authors, just as
 uninstalling is left up to the plugin authors.[[BR]]
 A plugin can re-register / run any init handlers it needs upon uninstall
 to create the proper environment for it's uninstall handler.

 Ultimately, a plugin could add all sorts of special filters to modify how
 Terms are handled, as well as Custom Post Types, potentially custom
 comment statuses, and post statuses.. the list of things just grows in
 size, for WordPress to keep track of every single item type IMHO would
 become much more of a burden.
