I suppose that this is dangerous ground, but is there not a way to have WP disable all of the plugins when upgrading? Yikes, I suppose that leaves the door wide open for a lot of nasty stuff. What about a "toggle activation for all selected plugins for upgrade" button in the plugin panel?
My point is that it's likely that the vast majority of WP users are not aware of the need to deactivate plugins when upgrading. Not only that, deactivating a crapload of plugins one at a time is a pain, which might encourage some users to simply roll the dice and hope that an upgrade doesn't bork as a result of an incompatible plugin. The plugin panel needs a bit of love in this regard, I think. At the very least, there needs to be a message at the top and bottom of the plugin panel that plugins should be deactivated PRIOR to an upgrade.
