 * Will this plugin work on multisite, deactivating/reactivating all plugins in 
   the network at the same time — plugins that are both network activated AND single
   site activated?

 * Hi Bet – This should work only on single install as I am fairly sure network 
   deactivate is a different call. Good idea though – I have this project on github
   if you want to contribute and I might add this in the future if I have a moment.
   Thanks

 * Yep, they would be different calls. But that would be a super helpful plugin 
   for multisite admins.
 * I run two multisite installs – one with about 30 sites, and the other with more
   than 80. To test for plugin conflicts would mean: documenting all the plugins
   that are network activated (which isn’t too bad to do), but also documenting 
   which plugins are activated in each subsite at the current moment. Then I would
   have to go into each subsite to deactivate all of the single site activated plugins,
   do my testing and go back into every site to reactivate what needs to be reactivated(
   or I suppose I could document all the activations in subsites, turn all the plugins
   off by renaming the plugins directory, and then only have to go into the subsites
   once to reactivate the needed plugins). I would have to check, but I don’t think
   the network plugin management plugins really give much help for this.
 * What that means in reality, is that if a multisite has more than a handful of
   sites, the admin is probably not really able to check for plugin conflicts.
 * The real advantage would be if you could give away for the network admin to be
   able to quickly deactivate all plugins, then just as quickly reactivate everything–
   hopefully, before clients notice that something is missing! 🙂
 * If you do decide to move forward with developing something, I would be glad to
   do some testing for you!
