Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:86 joyously]:
 > The current patch will show the PHP 5.3 user the plugins for PHP 7 as
 disabled, and he will have to write them down or something to find them
 again after his PHP upgrade. Before his upgrade, he will have to
 deactivate the ones that aren't compatible.

 How would they know which plugins aren't compatible with PHP 7 before
 actually trying to upgrade? What if there's no need to deactivate
 anything? If and when Tide provides this information, then we can
 reconsider the UX. For now, I'd suggest going with the current patch to
 get more feedback.
