Why are update_plugins a transient and active_plugins an option?

I think (unless I'm completely wrong here) that update_plugins should be in wp_options just like active_plugins.

Isn't that the right place for update_plugins ?

Hi AZdv, thanks for the report!

update_plugins is a cache of the latest response for the update check, so it's stored in transients as a cached value. active_plugins on the other hand stores which plugins are activated on the site, which is a preference, so it's stored as an option.

This is the correct behaviour as far as I can see. :)
