Comment (by stuffradio):

 @sebastienserre I don't think developers should be forced to delete custom
 tables they create with the plugin. What if someone wants to have a plugin
 de-activated or deleted but still keep their data in the future? For
 example if someone has a contact form installed with a bunch of
 submissions, maybe they want to keep those in the future.

 The only thing I could agree with that might be a good idea is to have the
 capability to list all the custom tables, and maybe have a page in the
 administration panel list which plugin created them and allow someone to
 remove those.
