Comment (by joyously):

 Replying to [comment:87 SergeyBiryukov]:
 > 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.


 They won't know, but some of the plugins will be marked with a warning and
 a disabled install button (but only ''before'' the upgrade). They will
 have to run some version of Tide or the PHP Compatibility plugin to find
 out what is needed before they upgrade. All I'm saying is that they should
 not be blocked from installing (especially if there is a warning messge).
 It is the activation that is important.
