Description of problem: While we offer --type as a registration option in CLI, letting you set unittype as something other than 'system', it sounds like we're not expecting anyone to actually use it. If we don't want anyone to know they can mess with it, it seems like we shouldn't talk about it in --help. Does it make sense to strip it out of 'subscription-manager register --help'? If nobody uses it (it sounded like maybe QA used to in the past but possibly not anymore?), we may want to consider removing it entirely. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subscription-manager 1.8+ Additional Info: Description for --type is "the type of unit to register, defaults to system"

It can be used for things like hypervisors, but not for things like RHUI unless you really know what you are doing. I am going to leave it as is.
