[wp-testers] Does auto update deactivate plugins?

[Kirk M]

Then for most if not all ".# " updates, deactivating plugins should not 
be neccessary at all. However, for major milestones it's probably a very 
good idea to deactivate all active plugins beforehand. Then again, it's 
probably a very good idea not to use the core auto-upgrade feature at 
all when upgrading to the next major milestone anyway.
