 {{{
 It seems like it reports the popular tags plugin authors use. Right now
 the popular tags I get are "admin","post","widget",
 "Ajax","plugin","posts"... even "wordpress" is there.
 I don't know if wordpress.org should simply automatically remove this type
 of tags, but how plugin authors tag their plugins is the least interesting
 information to the user. The user probably want to install a plugin which
 was installed by other people so tag popularity here should be by amount
 of downloads per tag. There are two SEO plugins in the most popular, but
 fro the tag cloud you might think that wordpress users are not interested
 in SEO
