Issue Summary
Hello,
I installed the demo shop and started to make changes to it and to adapt it to the business in questions. Now I learn that some things, like the Content Types, are "hard-coded" into the Kickstart installer.
I have a feeling a lot of people is going to install the demo shop and modify it to their needs. It is much simpler and the demo shop have some good functionality that takes a long time to setup.
Is it possible to make the demo shop totally adaptable, e.g. that you can change the names on the demo shops Product types and Content Types to your needs? I think that would be a real improvement.

You can rename the product and content types.
But you can't delete them. This is a limitation of the Features module, if the type is exported to a feature, it can't be deleted.
I can't change that without rewriting Features, which means that you will always have cruft you don't need.
Furthermore, the "demo store" makes many assumptions (loading many modules, etc) that are valid for a very small number of use cases.
This is why the "no demo store" asks you during install which parts you actually need. We are working on making "no demo store" more flexible, and more powerful, but the "demo store" will have to stay just a demo because of technical limitations today.
