Comment (by strider72):

 As I have no real idea what the Happy Cog stuff will do to admin, I am
 satisfied with waiting for that shoe to drop before putting further work
 into this. :)

 I do have an image in my head of a single column in the plugins table with
 multiple standardized icons/buttons that represent available meta-
 functions:

 Options Link
 Uninstall
 Setup (?) (for one-time set-and-forget configuration)

 ... and whatever other common functions we find are useful.

 I do think that "Activate/Deactivate" should remain their own separate
 thing, as that is absolutely fundamental to the plugins panel and should
 not be downplayed in any way.

 As for "Edit" -- I don't think this is a good idea, as we should
 discourage developers from making plugins that require users to directly
 edit code.  That's what an Options page is for.

 Here is the earlier discussion on wp-hackers:
