Comment (by jdgrimes):

 Sorry for posting yet another comment, but I wanted to say that all of the
 plugin bootstrap doesn't need to go into a single class. WordPress can
 help plugins un/install/update themselves better, etc., without a
 `WP_Plugin` class, by adding other helper classes that plugins can use to
 aid them in performing these and other tasks. Really, each part of this
 bootstrap (if it ever materializes in core) should be its own class. It
 shouldn't all be stuffed into a giant monster. But each part could be
 integrated with a `WP_Plugin` class or the like as it evolves. In other
 words such a bootstrap should be composed of multiple separate APIs.
