Better to remove them before running upgrade but it should be alright either way. :)

I added “remove local/plugins/RT-Whatever/" steps to each of the cored plugins in our upgrade doc. I also bumped them up to the top of the UPGRADING-4.4 document because they do require more action than the other items. And made the documentation for each a little more consistent. Thanks for your feedback on this. :)
By the way, removing the extensions from Plugins is enough to deactivate them, but yes, better to get rid of them entirely just to be sure!

This is indeed exactly what our goal was.
