[tryton] Restrict manual creation of account's journal type

[Cédric Krier]

Hi,

When does a system administrator want to create an account journal type?
If I understand correctly the journal type is thought to be only created
by developers so it's possible to restrict which kind of journals are
applicable on some models. (I.E: Statement journals when importing an
statement journal).
I'm wondering if it will be great to restrict the creation of new
records from the User Interfice and allow only creation via xml. Does
anyone have any use case which requires a manual creation of a journal
type?
Some of our users created some journal types which only generated
confusion.
P.S: Probably the same is applicable for Sequence Type.

I would say it is a legacy of OpenERP and it should be replaced by a
selection field that Tryton can managed the modular extension correctly.

I thought so.
