Comment (by jipmoors):

 @airathalitov I have not separated the ''deletion of old files'' from the
 flow, as it would require separating more logic from bulk and non-bulk
 installs. This is something I wanted to reduce for this first improvement.

 == Disk usage

 Though this point has me realizing that this new method of walking through
 the flow has a potential disk-space issue, which was not as prominent
 before.

 As all downloads and unzips are taking place beforehand, the space
 requires has increased to the total amount of all plugins being upgraded.
 Before this was only the size of the biggest plugin.

 As a site running at near full disk is at risk from being unavailable for
 many other reasons, I don't think it should be an instant blocker. This
 concern should be taken into account in determining if it's acceptable for
 merge.
