Comment (by swissspidy):

 > I think we should rename `unregister_post_type()` to
 `deregister_post_type()`. Semantics? Maybe. But I think it's worth
 discussing.
 >
 > The basic issue is that "unregister" isn't really a word. In fact, the
 only context in which "unregister" is really valid is when describing the
 ''state'' of a post type registration. The ''action'' is registration vs
 deregistration.

 There's also `unregister_taxonomy()` which would need to be renamed, see
 #35227.

 I'm not opposed to renaming these two functions, but I'm also not a native
 speaker.
