The Admin Page is cool and we will probably add even more features here.
From my current point of view I'm a bit uncertain which route to go, for the folloging reasons:
Currently (with manual installation) the plugin is in /addons/CustomSections where PHP normally has no write permissons. Of course, any dev should know how to set them properly.
Enabling/Disabling section types is clearly a develpoer/designer feature. With the Admin page, even admins/editors may do this. Setting Admin permissions is possibility to prevent that.
Disabled section types will only render w/o their CSS and possible JS and are merely useless because they cannot be edited anymore. However they can be removed using Section Management. It's the same as uninstalling a section type based plugin. I wonder if we should add a 'delete all disabled sections', which of course would need to parse all content - drafts, pages and even Extra Content. Hmmm.
As said, that's just a few thoughts with the current version.
Let's see what the Admin page will bring in the future.
