Comment (by JD55):

 Replying to [comment:1 nacin]:
 > I think register_activation_hook() is fine. The real benefit to
 uninstall.php is that it makes it very clear that since the plugin is
 deactivated, it is not included and you can't rely on it. You can only
 rely on what is done inside uninstall.php.

 That's true, and I hadn't thought of it that way.


 I suppose the same thing could be accomplished by including a plugin file
 inside of the activation hook function.
