Comment (by jacobsantos):

 Initial uninstall hook support adds uninstall link and uninstall button to
 active plugins. The issue with the uninstall is that it needs to see if
 the hook exists and can't see it unless the plugin is active. It is then
 assumed that if the user just wants to deactivate the plugin then the
 uninstall won't exist.

 It is possible to create another option for plugins who can be
 uninstalled, when they are activated. This will allow for the plugins to
 be uninstalled. It will require that the plugin be activated (without the
 activate hook being called) and then have the hook ran.
