[wp-hackers] register_uninstall_hook VS uninstall.php

[Davit Barbakadze]

I'm not going to use it for something else. I described my problem above. It
is that I use variables in options and table names, and it would be a
duplicate work to redefine the whole logic in uninstall.php. I just do not
see a point why I shouldn't be able to use the logic I already have (and use
OOP approach and not that ugly function namespacing). And then there is some
support built-in already, like calling callback with an action instead of
calling it in some other way. Why not to make this support more conssistent
and convenient.
