 @SergeyBiryukov @knutsp you guys are advanced users, the fact that you
 hang around in trac is proof that you have already obtained higher
 standards, it is about making wordpress safer by making average Joe users
 feel like they can delete the plugin knowing it shows in a simple list and
 they can get back to it if they want to.

 - Regarding the favorites, that is also not exactly the best way for
 someone who manages sites for 20 clients and each wordpress instance has
 other plugins that are inactive, besides this is a multistep process,
 again, we want to secure wordpress by forcing people to delete plugins but
 dont give them some form of info which plugin was last deleted?
 - As mentioned several times now, an average joe user doesnt want to loose
 access to that precious plugin, so they keep it simply inactive - make
 that Joe want to participate in deleting!
 - no one in the world can make that user feel at ease if they should
 delete it to maintain security standards, let alone educate them on a
 favorite or bookmark trick, you guys think too advanced, we are talking
 about people that like to do it the easy way.

 Regarding the core showing a list of recently deleted plugins - it would
 make security tighter because users now feel safe deleting a plugin to
 "keep it" because it still shows in a list.

 So in the end, what is more important to the core of wordpress team,
 making sure plugins that are not used are deleted? If yes, then make users
 want to delete the plugin.
