Comment (by swissspidy):

 @dontgo2sleep We can explore that in this ticket, but I see one big
 problem with this approach: it doesn't work for existing plugins.

 There are thousands of plugins registering post types and taxonomies out
 there. In order for things like the toolbar in the user's locale work, we
 need to solve this in a backward compatible way for all existing plugins.

 The adoption rate for the callback variant would be way too slow without
 any additional benefit.

 Also think about documentation, tutorials, etc. These won't be updated
 using the callback option for a long time.

 That's why I think we should concentrate on the class approach for now and
 see how it works.
