And this goal can be achieved if (unload-feature 'auctex) or something similar will remove it again. There would be no need for something as drastic as using unload-feature. If there is a user option to select between AUCTeX and the standard TeX modes, a user who wants the latter just has to set the option. Psychologically however, (setq AUCTeX-modes nil) means that you have to beg AUCTeX to be gone, whereas (unload-feature 'AUCTeX) commands it to be gone. I don't see why a user would care which, as long as it has the same practical result: to use the standard TeX modes.
