Comment:

 Woops, just noticed that the absence of the link would actually be a
 regression. The "Edit" link is there for active and inactive plugins in WP
 < 3.0.

 It got moved to inactive plugins only in this changeset: [12903]

 Attached patch also shows it for active plugins.

 A question that I could not answer, as I don't have MS test-install at the
 moment: Might additional checks for more than the "edit_plugins" cap
 necessary on MS installs, like checks for is_super_admin()? We don't want
 admins to edit plugins which are also active on other sites of the
 networks, right?! :-) This probably should also be checked for the drop
 down menu way of accessing the plugin editor.
