Comment(by nacin):

 get_plugins() also performs caching. I also personally think we should
 generally avoid hooks that can mess too much with the plugin activation
 process, especially considering the sandbox.

 That said, at the very least we can probably abstract out a good portion
 of get_dropins(), get_plugins(), and get_mu_plugins(), into a new
 directory-scanning function. If you want to try that, that could work. (I
 would also look at wp_get_active_and_valid_plugins() and
 wp_get_mu_plugins() as well.)
