Comment (by dd32):

 The featured plugins list is sorted by active installs.

 > the featured plugins seemed to change dynamically — possibly based on
 downloads, trending activity, or another selection mechanism

 Previously it was effectively random, as most of the plugins had the same
 active installs count, and so it would regularly switch order of them when
 caches expired.

 Now the order is fairly static, as the plugins range from 2k to 100
 installs.
