Dangerous plugins?

I noticed the "Enable all but dangerous plugins" is no longer an option in
the latest Nessus Client. I have been asked to do a scan with Safe Checks
off AND Dangerous plugins disabled. It looks to me that they are integrated
into one option now. So is there a way to disable Safe Checks, but also
disable Dangerous Plugins at the same time?

This used to disable the dangerous scripts, from ACT_DESTRUCTIVE_ATTACK to
ACT_FLOOD.
Safe checks disables these categories too, and change the behaviour of
ACT_MIXED_ATTACK scripts. In fact, there are few ACT_MIXED scripts (I counted
150)

This does not really make sense.

You are right.
