Description

There's currently a file for uninstall.php to simplify things. Alternatively, there's also a hook available.

There's hooks for plugin activation and deactivation. However, I think those hooks can be a bit tricky for newbie plugin developers.

I think by implementing a file for activate.php and deactivate.php could simply plugin development.

I'm totally fine using hooks for my own sake, but I just thought it could help simplify plugin development slightly. It might also make things easier on the code review team?
