Comment (by costdev):

 Interesting approach @jorbin!

 Some thoughts:
 1. I'm curious if there are any other circumstances in which the referrer
 could be `plugin-install.php` to `plugins.php?action=activate`. I don't
 suspect any at this time, but something that would be good to evaluate in
 case of potential gotchas.
 2. Certainly the known issue for modals is a big one still to be solved -
 all the larger as dependencies are intended to be installed and activated
 via modal.
 3. The server-side approach affects a non-JS workflow (i.e. Javascript is
 disabled), which should be avoided where possible. It may be the case that
 a solution to (2) will negate this concern.

 Mindful of the time remaining before 6.6 Beta 1 commit freeze, are there
 currently any thoughts on resolving the modal issue?
