Comment (by tch):

 I did some tests just to double check the current behavior. Basically
 there are two scenarios:

 a) Activities are installed when sugar IS running: in this case it will
 always include it in the favorites list, regardless of how it was
 installed (sugar bundle, system package, etc).

 b) Activities are installed when sugar is NOT running: in this case one
 activity will be favorited, during sugar startup, if:

 b.1) the bundle id is in /usr/share/sugar/data/activities.defaults file,
 OR

 b.2) if it was previously favorited and later removed but its bundle id is
 still in ~/.sugar/default/favorite_activities.

 So, what you are suggesting is to change the behavior described above and
 _always_ favorite activities under scenarios a) and b), and instead,
 provide some sort of black list to exclude activities only under scenario
 b)?
