 Replying to [comment:25 nickciske]:

 Nice first patch.

 Several things.

 1. See [comment:14 DrewAPicture]'s comment about needing hook docs.
 2. Your patch doesn't allow short-circuiting of post type registration for
 non built-in types.
 3. Your patch doesn't  pass in the sanitized version of the post type in
 `$args['name']` and then capture it after the args as the post type name
 as in my v2.x of the patch so you wouldn't be able to modify a post type
 name in case of a conflict ''(which is mostly moot, but sometimes if the
 plugin to fix is trivial enough it might be workable.)''

 That said, I'm starting to think that it won't be as simple as just
 bypassing `'_builtins'`; for example one of your use-cases was the need to
 change capabilities; if we bypass builtins then capabilities for default
 post types can't be fine-tuned easily.

 Maybe we should tackle each and every use-case instead of a more broad
 sweeping hook?
