Comment (by knutsp):

 With the option to bulk activate plugins, I don't see any problems. I
 never ever rename the plugins folder except when wanting to deactivate all
 plugins when WordPress fails.

 Keeping plugins "activated" when they don't even exist, as WordPress sees
 it, could be a problem for end users, or at least bad for performance.

 If this was to be implemented I would suggest the behaviour only happens
 when WP_DEBUG.
