I like it, but I have some thoughts/suggestions:
1) What happens when you add a new module? IMO, a new module should add
its sidebar blocks right away so that we minimize the number of admin
steps to pull in a new feature
2) Right now when you deactivate a module, you get an error because
we're not checking to see if the block exists before requesting it.
Take the easiest route here.. if the callback doesn't exist just don't
call it.
3) For transition semantics, we should have the gallery upgrader act
like we were doing #1 all along, so we should add some upgrader code
that activates all blocks. This will mean that when folks next upgrade,
their experience will be the same as before (modulo some block reordering).
