[wp-testers] Does auto update deactivate plugins?

[Kirk M]

I know this was asked before but I've forgotten. In the past I've always 
deactivated all my plugins manually before updating the core. Now I find 
myself using 2.7's auto-update feature the same way--the second thing I 
do before updating is to bulk deactivate all my plugins (first is to 
backup DB). So...

Does running 2.7's new core auto update automatically deactivate plugins 
before updating and reactivate them after it's finished or does that 
still have to be done manually?
