Any other comments?
I haven't done thorough testing yet to ensure this change doesn't accidentally cause unpredicted side-effects. The get_plugins function that we were using does use get_plugin_data under the hood, so I think this more direct call to get_plugin_data should do what we need with the added flexibility of working when WPGraphQL is a "regular" or "mu" plugin.
Would love @justlevine to confirm this change doesn't cause any unintended side effects.
