After there is new module installed e.g. forum, there is some information about it is putten into node_type table. Maybe it would be better to provide to user an ability to remove such information from database, e.g. implement it in hook_uninstall().

The same is with blog, book, forum & poll modules.

This might affect performance also. e.g. When I installed and disabled 100 modules that provide content types.

Please give me your opinion before making a patch fix for this.

It's always debatable what shall happen upon uninstall. The nodes themselves are there, some script might join the node_type table with node. It's not clear to me what shall happen here and in general on uninstall. This needs a wider debate and I do not think there is enough time to 'fix' this in Drupal 5 -- 'fix' because when it's not clear what's the normal working , how do we know it's broken?

Please see http://drupal.org/node/92329. This causes the taxonomy module to function incorrectly (you can still associate vocabularies with deactivated and uninstalled modules).
