Comment (by dd32):

 This has also caused some fatals on wp-themes.com, although I was
 struggling to understand how, it's the same type of code as in [comment:7
 comment 7], `get_plugin_data()` is checked for and if not present
 `plugin.php` is loaded, and elsewhere in the theme `is_plugin_active()` is
 called.

 Example: https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/182411#comment:2

 Here's some affected themes:
  - https://wordpress.org/themes/ajima/
  - https://wordpress.org/themes/avenews/
  - https://wordpress.org/themes/ecoscape/
  - https://wordpress.org/themes/photographymax/


 ''Sidenote: Making `is_plugin_active()` always available would be a
 benefit to a bunch of various plugins/themes.''
