Comment:

 must-use plugins and drop-ins don't have a concept of "activation".

 If you want to see if a plugin is active on a site, is_plugin_active() is
 a poor way to do it. The path can be anything. A plugin could be installed
 at test-plugin/test-plugin.php, test-plugin.php, or some-totally-
 different-name.php. You should look for a function, class, etc.
