Comment (by pedroghandi):

 yep, I thought so too. I was thinking in ways that those numbers can mean
 anything to the user. Like "ranked #34,124", "All time 569,037" is also
 not really helpful. Those numbers could relate to any period of time.

 > No, we won't be adding overall rankings, although it'd be technically
 possible to.
 >
 > A rank doesn't offer an end-user anything which means anything, `Ranked
 #34,125 of all plugins` is not helpful to a user, especially when that
 plugin is rated 5 stars, does exactly what the user wants, and is actively
 being developed.

 > Rankings also encourage people to "one up" another plugin, and that's
 not what builds a good community.
