 Replying to [ticket:14963 joelhardi]:
 > (who has or would manually download a plugin package and then hack the
 !WordPress upgrader to install it, instead of just unzipping into the
 plugins folder?)

 Patch looks sane enough, but the upgrader isn't really designed for that.
 We don't delete files that aren't temporary, but that's not designed to be
 a non-temporary file. Can you provide a use case?
