Comment:

 This is great, @Offereins - Thanks for opening the ticket.

 Just to underscore what you've said above: I wouldn't want to make it
 impossible to query for items of a non-registered activity type. There are
 plenty of situations where you want and need to do such a thing (think:
 migrations). But it seems right to me that you would not query them by
 default.

 In addition, moving to an activity-type whitelist for queries will move us
 to a model where activity types can register themselves with certain
 permissions. Think of `exclude_from_search`, `publicly_queryable`, etc in
 WP.
