Comment (by aubreypwd):

 Themes should also have something similar to this. Patch just to show
 example.

 I'm also thinking about implications to the fact that additional Admin
 menu pages will be gone because plugins wouldn't be loaded. Thinking about
 doing something via GET *like* `wp-admin/plugins.php?loadplugins=0` for
 desperate situations and wondering if the GET parameter would be removed
 once the plugin was finally deactivated so things to back to normal. If
 they navigated away from the page they would never land on `plugins.php`
 with the parameter again and all the plugins will be loaded next time they
 went to `plugins.php`.
