It could be called by unload-feature, though it would be better to
rename it gnus-registry-unload-function instead:

    (defun unload-feature (feature &optional force)
      [...]
      (let* ([...]
             (unload-hook (intern-soft (concat name "-unload-hook")))
             (unload-func (intern-soft (concat name "-unload-function"))))
          [...]
          ;; This is obsolete; FEATURE-unload-function should be used now.
          (run-hooks unload-hook)
