 I tossed this ticket out four times before finally posting it. It's so ...
 iffy.

 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrodpress-38-beta-suggestion-to-check-
 for-activated-feature-plugins

 tl;dr: Should we set up 'feature plugins' to auto-disable when they arrive
 in core? When Dashboard came in, it White-Screen'd my front page (which
 yes, I reported up stream in the plugin forum), until I deactivated it.
 But not everyone's going to be smart enough, and we really did invite the
 less techy with the plugins. Mind you if you ARE testing a plugin you
 SHOULD know better, but ... this can go both ways, y'know?

 I think that, since if you're on the beta releases, there's a high
 probability of the features in a plugin showing up before you can disable
 a plugin (like I know to disable MP6 when 3.8 comes out), maybe we should
 add a check to the upgrader, similar to the delete files call.

 If plugin is on this list, disable.

 It'd be nice if we could prevent them from even being enabled on their
 versions.
