Description

Consider a separate option that stores this status, so that we reduce risk of breaking other things.

Trace how content type settings reach the register_* functions and where those settings are stored. Determine how an active-status option can preserve configuration while preventing inactive content types from being registered; done means inactive types retain their settings but are excluded from registration.
