#1155: Plugin API should include active installs

 Currently, plugin data fetched via the plugin API
 (https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/) does not include active
 installs. This is potentially a nice statistic to have. The default active
 installs number that displays on plugin cards when searching the repo or
 via a site's Plugins > Add New screen performs some pretty heavy rounding,
 and there are use cases for having more accurate numbers.

 Is there a reason to intentionally exclude this info? If not, is the code
 for this functionality available via an SVN repo somewhere for a patch?
