@George Stephanis - Hi George, Thanks for checking out Rocketeer. I wrote the plugin for my own use a couple months back to change a few things I didn't like in Jetpack. Disconnecting on deactivation can be annoying during testing. I don't remember if I actually got that working and thought it was commented out at one point, but Ben Lobaugh submitted a helpful pull request to remove it, so it's already been taken care of. Opening an issue on GitHub would have been nice, though.

The other thing you say Rocketeer is doing wrong is just a bit of help text, which was copied directly from the Manual Control plugin listing. Nothing purposefully misleading or implications of "bad bad things" being done on my part. However, auto-activation of any module has been a point of contention with many developers and tech-savvy clients I've worked with.

@Jeffro - Rocketeer intercepts notices because it offloads the deactivation routine to Jetpack, then returns back to the module listing page. Jetpack actually has the functionality available, Rocketeer just exposes it to hopefully enhance the experience for folks who prefer the standard list table format.
