 > Looking at existing tags, for a data-driven decision..

 I was asked for the data-source, and after talking through it, realised I
 queried data that might not be representative of the plugin directory
 today.

 The data I queried was all tags, where as lots of closed plugins would've
 had more spammy tags.

 Here's that data again, but this time, only for currently published
 plugins where the tag is used by more than 1 plugin (because we hide tags
 used only by a singular plugin)

 ||=Word count=||=# of tags=||=Percent of tags (running count)=||=Largest
 Install count plugin=||
 ||1||    157,142||74.5% (74.5%)||10m+||
 ||2||    44,511||21.1% (95.6%)||10m+||
 ||3||    8,236||3.9% (99.5%)||6m+||
 ||4||    875||0.41% (99.92%)||600k+||
 ||5||    138||0.07% (99.98%)||100k+||
 ||6||    34||0.02% (100%)||30k+||
 ||7||    4||0% (100%)||700+||
 ||8||    2||0% (100%)||60+||

 It's not a huge difference, but does confirm that once you pass 2 words
 you're into the long-tail, and that 3 words is 99.5% of tags (where as
 before that was 4 words was 99.5%).
