Comment (by _ck_):

 Actually the user should be strongly cautioned and given a link to click
 to deactivate all plugins but it should NEVER be done automatically for
 them.

 Some plugins purge their db tables upon deactivation/activation and that
 behavior can cause data loss without their consent or knowledge.
