Description

Often happened problem, where is necessary to call flush_rules, for example, if Yoast was installed 'sitemap_index.xml', will return 404 error, if Yoast will be uninstalled wp-sitemap.xml will return 404 error because in 'rewrite_rules' will be still present previous rules and user/site manager can have no idea that he/she needs to go and flush these rules manually.

Right now it's a plugin's responsibility to flush permalinks on plugin activation/deactivation. I think it's impossible to detect whether a plugin is making any such changes without doing it.
