 the user suspects any problems.

 Yes, that's why the patch only handles the file name change inside a
 plugin directory. If the directory is renamed, the plugin would be
 deactivated. I agree that it might still be questionable though.

 > The correct way to fix this would be to go through each blog in the
 network and update it's 'active_plugins' option right after a plugin
 update.

 Thanks, I'll look into that.
