Thanks for your response.
An update being deactivated doesn't trigger an update check for said addon? Well, complexity of a graceful update attempt for a not loadable addon probably outweighs the benefit of such rare cases.
But the main reason I had a hard time with you guys discarding this path is probably addon stats like [0]. The spike in downloads made me think it could have helped at least some users. But on second thought, it might also have been caused by extensions getting re-enabled post fix. 2m downloads at 4m DAU makes me guess this was caused by something automatic.
