 Replying to [comment:15 nacin]:
 >Safe mode also doesn't help the issue that once you've disabled all
 plugins, you need to test (ideally one by one) to see which plugin is
 causing the problem. Safe mode only allows for all-on or all-off, unless
 you let them deactivate a plugin while in safe mode, then they can remove
 safe mode again.

 The idea I'm working in through a demo plugin deactivates all plugins and
 places them in recently active. Then the safe mode is gone and the user
 asked to activate one by one from recently active.

 >But then there is the issue of the default theme, and whether you switch
 that back to, and whether a "safe mode" could actually cause data
 problems.

 There are a lot of issues, but I'm sure they can be solved. Default theme
 should also be taken care of.

 > There are some cool ideas here but it's pretty clear none of them are
 good for core.

 I guess it's best to just come up with a plugin to demonstrate and test
 this.
