 Replying to [comment:3 OriginalEXE]:
 > Not even the existence of uninstall.php can guarantee that the plugin
 will remove its data (it could be used for something else), I think that's
 worth thinking about.

 Uhm yes, that's what this file is for. It should definitely '''not''' be
 used for something else.
