 their own plugins, and I'm hearing that for newer plugins every new
 install can be a motivator. Feedback loops are important. It will take
 some work but it's doable.

 Plugin users need the active installations statistic too, not just the
 authors.

 Give us back the active installations statistic until a superior
 alternative is available.
