 > direct users to the plugin configuration page if available

 There is no convention for communicating a plugin's configuration page.

 Different plugins redirect on activation in different ways. Some redirect
 no matter what, some check to see has a wp_option been set.

 In general, this causes problems with bulk activation. I.e. when a plugin
 redirects on activation, it prevents the remaining plugins from
 activating. This applies equally to bulk activating plugins via WP CLI
 (because `die()` is usually called after `wp_redirect()`).

 I think the practice of redirecting should be discouraged (outright
 forbidden by the review team) and the best practice should be an admin
 notice linking to the settings page (come to think of it, could be a
 plugin header read by core that works for Playground too).
