I'm happy to make a patch to do that.  Really the only thing I see to test is do you leave them defined switching them to 1-click to play (as opposed to 2-run always) or just remove the definitions from the file.  I believe that will correspond to change for only new installs vs default to click to play for everyone (still won't change if user has set always activate manually).

I now prefer the more flag day approach, Ex: Firefox 40 has everything click-to-play by default.  More predictable for site operators to know when they need to have things done by, etc.

Any other discussions on this?  Maybe disable on Nightly, see how it goes, then Aurora, see how it goes, beta, etc. 

I do think it makes sense to disable the white-listed plug-ins first though.
