Certainly he could blank off any non-conformimg receptacles while he
is capping the pliumbing.
... or just ignore the code.

No, not intended to start a scrap here.
If I was converting a bathroom to a closet or pantry, I'd pull the wiring.
I figure that capping it off would work, but it would be capped off for
decades where-as the wiring could be used someone else - so might as well
pull it and re-deploy somewhere else.

If you're planning to move soon and are also needing to count on maximizing the
return on the sale of your house, I'd consult with a real estate agent - it all
depends on how houses like yours are usually set up in your area, and the
specifics of the bathroom placements.
But, if not (and even if so - you'll still have two full baths!), I'm with the
folks who say houses are for the living, and if a pantry is the way the space is
the most useful to you (sounds like it), do it. Enjoy.
Cheers,
Banty
