Thinking less of it myself (and I wrote it!).   Probably best to zip  
'em up and store them that way.  (Kind of like packing your heavy  
sweaters away for the summer....)

Not a true PHP guru, but there seems to be a pretty good consensus  
that even a deactivated plugin can be a security risk.  (It *is* a  
runnable file sitting on your server, after all).
