 `example.com/wp-activate.php` loads the theme's `functions.php` file and
 calls `get_header()` and `get_footer()`, but plugins aren't loaded. This
 causes inconsistency with every other page on a site.

 So `wp-activate.php` has an identity problem. Is it part of the theme? Or
 is it part of administration like `wp-login.php`? If it is part of the
 theme, it needs to work much better than it does (ie. there's no way to
 override the markup on the page without the theme hooking into
 `activate_header` and overriding the entire page).
