I believe so, but there was a discussion here recently asking whether
that's the only reason why and, if not, what the other problem cases
were. I don't recall seeing an answer to that, so there might be edge
cases that could be thrown up by reactivating it. It's certainly worth
a try though.

Many thanks to Andrew and RSL, I hadn't thought of doing it at the app
level but that makes sense - thanks!
