 Simply too much confusion, even with proper Codex documentation.
 post_type_exists() explains a lot more than is_post_type() anyway.

 We should reserve is_ for conditional tags as much as possible (aside from
 functions clearly unrelated such as is_user_logged_in).

 I wouldn't mind seeing this in 3.0 final, all we're doing is throwing in a
 few deprecated functions that would wrap better-named functions.
