 Akismet being active?

 Hi @peterwilsoncc, I believe I addressed this earlier at
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65012?replyto=34#comment:25, but it
 may have gotten lost in the conversation:

 > That's a good point that is worth addressing. The UI doesn't actually
 allow setting a key without activating the plugin first. What it does is
 let users activate the plugin directly from the connectors screen, without
 needing to navigate to the plugins screen, and then provide the key right
 away without any page reloads. So by the time the key is set, the plugin
 is already active.
