 Replying to [comment:5 maorb]:
 > Anyway, I think it's not so intuitive for the user, and I assumes that
 if the show_in_nav_menus is set to true, then the post type should be auto
 visible without checking the Options in the post type. Kinda duplicated,
 isn't it?

 Generally speaking the user would not be doing both post type registration
 AND menu management. One is a user action, the other is a developer
 action. The point is for the post type to say what it is capable of and
 that's about it. With regards to menus, we made a decision a while ago to
 limit the initial display to only pages and categories, and bury the rest
 in screen options.

 That changeset doesn't fix a bug here cause there isn't one here, but I
 wanted to do it anyway. Closing as fixed in that case, otherwise we would
 close this as invalid or worksforme.

 Debating whether it was a good idea however to switch to defaulting to
 public versus show_ui, but I wanted it to be consistent with post types.
