Comment (by afragen):

 @johnbillion a question. Does a plugin like WooCommerce, if loaded as an
 mu-plugin, show as an active plugin?

 Perhaps anyone using this pattern should always use a loader plugin and
 the plugin would then normally be where it is, in `wp-content/plugins`. If
 the plugin isn't in `wp-content/plugins` how is it to be updated? Mu-
 plugins don't receive updates.
