Comment(by janeforshort):

 I agree we should drop the action column. Action links should be in a
 standard location in one of the main columns, like on the plugin
 management screen. I think a link for More Info (that brings up the .org
 tabbed info, same as clicking on the plugin name) plus a link for Install
 (that just does the install) would be good. I think when we have a verb
 for a link, it needs to be specific to the action. Clicking install and
 having it pop a new page of info instead of installing something is
 deceptive. Plus, I see a lot of people who know exactly what they want b/c
 they've done the research on .org or via google, and by the time they go
 into the admin to install something, they know exactly what they want.
 (That seems to be a more common behavior than doing all the searching
 right in the admin... most people seem to look not only at .org/extend,
 but at other sites that mention the plugin, support forums, etc.) For
 those people, having to load the tabbed info page, then mouse up to the
 big orange Install button just seems like an extra step.
